Under the Tamarind Tree (2023)
Nigar Alam
"You can practically smell the courtyard's sweet bougainvillea and feel the Arabian Sea's misty breeze... Under the Tamarind Tree is historical fiction at its best, a story rich in fascinating historical details and deeply moving as well - a tale of friendship, family, and the power that new, unexpected relationships can have, even late in life, to heal old wounds."
All the Pretty Places (2023)
Joy Callaway
"Joy Callaway's All the Pretty Places is a fascinating, heartwarming story that brings to light a time and place where only the wealthy had access to the beauty and restorative power of gardens. This Gilded Age tale, set in Rye, New York, in the late 1800s, follows one courageous young woman, Sadie Fremd, as she navigates a world where men lead and women follow. Despite the expectations of her father and polite society, Sadie is determined to build a life for herself, a life filled with purpose, true love, and pretty places for all. Callaway draws us into Sadie's world with gorgeous prose (you can practically feel the rich, damp soil and smell the sweet lilacs) that transports readers to the lush landscapes that Sadie will go to any lengths to protect."
