The Mischief Makers (2024)
Elisabeth Gifford
"Elisabeth Gifford is an excellent author of historical fiction. In The Mischief Makers she brings both the magical and dark worlds of novelist Daphne Du Maurier to life in a way that is both intoxicating and troubling. London and the heady world of London's theatre scene both pre- and post- WWII is also skilfully evoked. If you are fascinated by Daphne du Maurier and the influences that formed such a successful and enduring novelist then you must not miss this reimagining of her life ..."
Berlin Duet (2024)
S W Perry
"This novel swept me to several enthralling historical locations. I was particularly taken by the wonderfully evoked silent film era in Hollywood; I loved the pre-war setting of Vienna with Hitler's reach hanging over every step, southern France, its nature, a refreshing balance to the Vichy regime, and then the exuberance, chaos and revelations in Berlin as the Wall came down in 1989. Perry is meticulous in his research. His novel is a complex and ambitious story of lovers and spies and Jewish survivors. It will keep you page-turning all through the night."
Bonjour, Sophie (2024)
Elizabeth Buchan
"A rich and enthralling read ... I felt as though I was being swept away by the power of a modern Thomas Hardy .... This is a coming-of-age story set in magical locations with a heroine you can't resist falling in love with. A novel that will appeal to all ages, and a sure hit."
