Linda Wilgus recommends

Noble Beasts (2026)
Lucy Waverley
"Intensely moving and deeply evocative, Noble Beasts is a stunning portrait of a man as well as an era. Rendered in luscious prose, the novel's bold exploration of the price of ambition and the enduring strength of love against the odds had me gripped from its optimistic beginning in the late Regency through Landseer's final days of disillusionment and mental health struggles as the Trafalgar Square lions stalked his dreams. This is historical fiction at its finest and I loved every page!"
