Olesya Salnikova Gilmore recommends
A Rose by Any Other Name (2024)
Mary McMyne
"A bold and inventive tale about a woman ahead of her time in an Elizabethan England you can practically see and touch. Timely, feminist, and wonderfully original."
A Sweet Sting of Salt (2024)
Rose Sutherland
"Wild and windswept just like its setting, A Sweet Sting of Salt is a subversive, lushly romantic historical retelling of an age-old folktale."
The Weaver and the Witch Queen (2023)
Genevieve Gornichec
"A breathtaking saga of a novel that brims with page-turning tension and wit, impeccable historical and cultural detail, and heroines that are at once fierce and complex but also full of true heart and soul."
