Jason Hewitt recommends
Miss Marley (2018)
Vanessa Lafaye
"A warm return to some of Dickens’ greatest characters – delivered with care, confidence and a vibrant heart, but most of all, with love."
The Faithful (2017)
Juliet West
"A tightly knotted story of love and divided loyalties that is both rich in period detail and told with warmth, wit and passion. Wonderful."
