Joy Jordan-Lake recommends
A Dangerous Education (2023)
Megan Chance
"Absolutely engrossing. Megan Chance's A Dangerous Education deftly weaves the tensions of the Cold War era together with the high drama of a heroine whose past drives her present, including the fateful decisions she makes at the reform school for privileged girls where she works. I was so utterly enthralled by Rosemary's search for her daughter and for a fresh start to her own life, I literally only put the novel down once - to catch an airplane - then obsessively kept reading through to the final page."
A Matter of Happiness (2022)
Tori Whitaker
"Tori Whitaker's A Matter of Happiness is an absolute trip back to the Roaring Twenties, so vividly written the reader can see the fringe of the flappers' dresses, hear the jazz from the speakeasies, and taste the bourbon. A dual timeline novel, both the 1920s and the contemporary stories proceed with delectable suspense and feature strong, independent women characters I adored - and am still thinking about all these days later."
The Beantown Girls (2019)
Jane Healey
"In The Beantown Girls, Jane Healey delivers a novel that whisks us to the final harrowing months of World War II in Europe, and brings it painfully, beautifully, heartbreakingly alive. Through the eyes of Fiona Denning, a Red Cross Clubmobile worker, and her colleagues, we witness firsthand not only acts of jaw-dropping courage and sacrifice, but also the romantic bonds that grow even during the horrors of war. Healey’s superb research lets us see the decimated cities, smell the doughnuts and coffee handed out at great risk on the front lines, and hear the big band music—as well as the approach of the next bomb. I loved this novel!"
