![]() ![]() Wren Roberts was looking forward to taking a holiday on the island of Majorca with his long-time friend, Owen, but didn’t know that they would be joined there by a group of Owen’s rich, snobby friends. But tropes are tropes are tropes as always, it’s what the author does with them that matters, and if the formula happens to work for you (as it did for me here) then you’ll likely enjoy the book. You generally know what you’re getting with a Morton book – steamy sexytimes, witty banter, engaging characters and a good helping of feels – which is exactly what’s on offer here, and if you’ve read at least some of Lily Morton’s other romances, you’ll recognise the character-types – the snarky, free-spirited one and the more world-weary one who falls completely under his spell but fights it all the way. Lily Morton’s The Cuckoo’s Call is a charming and heartfelt age-gap, opposites-attract romance that looks at what happens to a holiday romance after the holiday is over. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Kathryn Wagner is a senior fundraiser for a child advocacy nonprofit in Washington, D.C. Wagner s description of art and sacrifice in old Paris doesn t have the heft of the classics, but her abandonment of the masterpiece-in-the-making formula is a nice turn. 'Like all good historical fiction, Dancing for Degas gives us a small sliver of reality during a different era, and its value is that it leaves the reader wanting to learn more about the subject.''- The Boston Globe. Like Tracy Chevalier, Wagner imagines how layers of meaning pervade works of art, but her real forte is detailing the sexual politics of poverty and evoking the rivalry among dancers, especially between stars and the newcomers who wish to replace them. ![]() Once in Paris, Alexandrie follows star performer Cornelie s lead and quickly snags a prospective patron, but she s most powerfully drawn to Degas, who captures on canvas the dancers beauty and humanity. Listed in the Dance category on Art In Fiction, Dancing for Degas (2010) is Kathryn Wagners fresh and vibrantly imagined portrait of the Impressionist artist Edgar Degas, transporting readers to an era of light and movement through the eyes of a young Parisian ballerina. After gangly 12-year-old Alexandrie s brother marries a girl even poorer than himself, Alexandrie becomes her provincial family s last hope for prosperity, and soon she s taking lessons in ballet and culture to prepare herself for Paris society. From Wagner s debut, a fictional portrait of an aspiring ballerina who inspires famous works of art by Edgar Degas, a living picture emerges of dancers at the turn-of-the-20th-century Paris Opera. ![]() ![]() Instead of an icon, she gives us a living, breathing woman confronting the challenges of faith and doubt, a roaring girl who, in fighting the English, was also taking sides in a bloody civil war. But unlike the traditional narrative, a story already shaped by the knowledge of what Joan would become and told in hindsight, Castor's Joan of Arc: A History takes us back to fifteenth century France and tells the story forwards. ![]() Helen Castor tells afresh the gripping story of the peasant girl from Domremy who hears voices from God, leads the French army to victory, is burned at the stake for heresy, and eventually becomes a saint. ![]() ![]() From the author of the acclaimed She-Wolves, the complex, surprising, and engaging story of one of the most remarkable women of the medieval world-as never told before. ![]() ![]() ![]() In book 1, Jim, his friend, Garth, and his younger sister, Jennifer, discover a time passage and spend two months in the time of the Nephites, at the time of Helaman and Captain Teancum around 67 B.C.The first four books feature Jim Hawkins as the main character: first as a teenager, then as a young man in college and in the third and fourth as a father of three children.
