Sherri L Smith recommends
Stateless (2023)
Elizabeth Wein
"Elizabeth Wein does it again! You're not going to want to miss a minute of this high flying game of cat and mouse. Stateless is simply spectacular."
The Most Dazzling Girl in Berlin (2022)
Kip Wilson
"This gorgeous book will put your heart in your throat and tears in your eyes, and keep you rooting for its heroines against all the odds."
Daughters of a Dead Empire (2022)
Carolyn Tara O'Neil
"You might know the history, but do you know the heart that beats beneath? Carolyn Tara O'Neil reinvents revolutionary Russia with a broad brush for atmosphere and a fine pen for detail. Daughters of a Dead Empire spins the tale of two fierce young women facing down history in an emotional reimagining of one of the greatest mysteries of the 20th century. Start to finish, I was hooked--a remarkable feat for story inspired by well-known facts."
