New and upcoming books
Francine Falk-Allen recommends
The Vow (2024)
Jude Berman
"Lovers of art and seekers of the Divine will be especially enthralled by this masterful work set in late-1700s Italy and England - a creative revelation of the painterly life of Angelica Kauffman, a historical, exceptionally accomplished artist. Relive her encounters with celebrities of the time, including Joshua Reynolds, Goethe, and royalty."
Sleeping in the Sun (2024)
Joanne Howard
"Howard writes with vivid intensity [...]. The tale unfolds cinematically with lush descriptive prose; you will fully sense the streets and inhabitants of this Indian city and its countryside. But the real depth of this story lies within the relationships [...] both the raw attitudinal differences and the subtle undercurrents the characters either endure or ignore. Twelve-year-old Gene is the heart of the book, the most insightful of all, and the voice you will come to rely upon."
A Golden Life (2024)
Ginny Kubitz Moyer
"Step into the late 1930s epicenter of Hollywood's Golden Age. . . . Moyer touches on larger life issues, including women's limited choices and stereotypes and how society came to expect relationships to emulate the glittery romance Hollywood cinema created. Unputdownable!"
