Tatiana De Rosnay recommends

Close Your Eyes (2011)
Amanda Eyre Ward
"I absolutely loved this beautiful, haunting story of a woman who learns to come to terms with a dark, deep, family secret."

The Lantern (2011)
Deborah Lawrenson
"The Lantern will hook you in from the start and weave its dark, lush magic around you."

The Heat of Betrayal (2015)
Douglas Kennedy
"Douglas does it again! This is the kind of novel you absolutely cannot put down, the kind that gets your pulse racing, to such an extent you have to switch off your phone, ignore your entourage, and devour to the very end. Brilliantly compelling, startling, and exotic, definitely one of Kennedy's best works."

The Lost Family (2018)
Jenna Blum
"Jenna Blum shines a powerful light on how the past swings back and how we must face it. The Lost Family is an extraordinary read, the kind of book that makes you sob and smile, the kind that gives you hope . It is compassionate, masterful and disturbingly contemporary."

The Lost Vintage (2018)
Ann Mah
"If you enjoyed my Sarah's Key and Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale, then this wonderful book by Ann Mah is for you. I read it in one greedy gobble, couldn't put it down, and can't recommend it enough."

Find Me Gone (2018)
Sarah Meuleman
"Lush with literary mystery and masterful suspense, Sarah Meuleman’s impressive debut marks her as a writer to watch."
