When Penelope and Helena meet Elijah, a golden opportunity arises: to pull off a project never seen before, and turn Elijah from a street vendor to a gentleman chef. London merchants won’t allow a Jewish boy to own a shop, so he hawks his pasties for a shilling a piece to passersby-but he knows with training he can break into the highest echelon of society. Elijah Little has nothing to his name but a truly excellent instinct for flavors. Her contemporaries may scorn her Filipina heritage and her dishes, but with her flawless social graces and culinary talents, Penelope is set to prove them wrong. Penelope Pickering is going to prove the value of non-European cuisine to all of England. Helena Higgins, top of her class at the Royal Academy, has a sharp demeanor and an even sharper palate-and knows stardom awaits her if she can produce greatness in her final year. It’s 1830s England, and Culinarians-doyens who consult with society’s elite to create gorgeous food and confections-are the crème de la crème of high society. Culinary delights abound, romance lingers in the air, and plans go terribly, wonderfully astray in this gender-bent take on My Fair Lady from Jennieke Cohen, author of Dangerous Alliance -perfect for fans of Bridgerton or A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

Some of what I noticed complained about most in other reviews didn’t really bother me, for which I am thankful. In a rare twist for me, I enjoyed this book more than many other reviewers.

Madeline Landry is sole heir to the Landry estate and fortune, but unhappy with her lot in life. Two hundred years in the future, various factors have left most of the United States in a dystopian state that is reminiscent of Victorian times–right down to the fancy dresses and the imperative for wealthy young women to marry eligible, and wealthy, bachelors.

In this panoramic work of social history, Stuart Schwartz examines how Caribbean societies have responded to the dangers of hurricanes, and how these destructive storms have influenced the region’s history, from the rise of plantations, to slavery and its abolition, to migrations, racial conflict, and war. The diverse cultures of the Caribbean have been shaped as much by hurricanes as they have by diplomacy, commerce, or the legacy of colonial rule. Readers will appreciate Luchette’s finely observed characters and forgive the plot lapse of having a pre-term baby come home from the hospital a day after its birth. The book is told in flashback, after Agatha has left her fellow-nuns, and the build-up to her departure is well-paced and convincing. To say these folks are “the least of these” is understatement. None of the sisters has the skill or training or even personal background for such work, but they try to care for residents Horse, Lawnmower Jill, and Tim Gary, whose lower jaw is partially missing. Little Neon, a brightly painted structure, is a halfway house for people with chemical dependencies. Agatha of Little Neon by Claire Luchette Shop at Bookshop After their parish in Buffalo, New York, folds due to lack of money and poor attendance, four young nuns relocate to Woonsocket, Rhode Island, to help out at a halfway home full of the offbeat and the disenfranchised. Claire Luchettes debut, Agatha of Little Neon, is a novel about yearning and sisterhood, figuring out how you fit in (or don’t), and the unexpected friends who help you find your truest self Agatha has lived every day of the last nine years with her sisters: they work together, laugh together, pray together. Finding themselves under-employed, they are sent to Rhode Island. The Catholic Church can no longer deny that some of its priests have sexually abused children, and church attendance plummets in the Northeastern parish where the four sisters, Mary Lucille, Therese, Frances, and Agatha, have been assigned. As Luchette’s debut novel opens, Sister Agatha reveals that Pope John Paul II has just died. Then he lets go, and I fall onto the cobblestones below. I look up into his green eyes, and he gives me a wicked grin. I tumble out, and then halt abruptly in my descent as his hand grips mine. Before I can change my mind, Algernon pushes me over. We are only one story up, but even from this height, the drop looks menacing. Without questioning him, I throw one leg over the sill. He grabs my hand and hauls me toward the window. In the next instant, Algernon is at the window, throwing open the sash and pushing back the shutters. Quickly, we stuff the jewelry into our pockets. What are we to do? There is only one set of stairs out of here, and already I can hear the homeowner’s feet pounding up our one means of escape. He pauses, two pearl earbobs in his palm. The homeowner has come back, and we are about to be discovered robbing him. “Mon Dieu, I will kill you, you ruffians!”Ī man’s voice booms from below, and my heart leaps to my throat.
