"Almost everything in Femina by Janina Ramirez. We know women's history has been conveniently airbrushed from 'his' story, but this amazing book is an entertaining, stunningly well-researched eye-opener."
"North Woods by Daniel Mason. The writing is rich and smooth, the storytelling woven with such dexterity and the sense of historical place is authentic and so compelling. I really couldn't put it down."
