Mrs Lincoln by Janis Cooke Newman-
‘I could not put [Mrs Lincoln] down
and as I read it, I wept. I cannot recommend a book
more… a very powerful novel.’ – Pat
Schroeder, President of the Association of American
Publishers
‘…one of those rare books that turns the reader into an admiring
fan of both the author and her subject. You feel a compulsion to urge others
to read it…Newman gives
Mary a riveting voice.’ USA Today
‘... immensely readable, close-to-life story
of America's best known and most controversial First
Lady. Sensitive to the facts as well as graced by realistic
dialogue and an empathetic portrayal of places and
people, including Abraham Lincoln, Mary finally tells
her own story. This is historical fiction at its best.’
– Jean H. Baker, author of Mary Lincoln: A Biography
The Gift of Rain by Tan Twan Eng -
'A powerful first novel about a tumultuous and almost
forgotten period of history.'
The Times Literary Supplement
'A remarkable book… about
war, friendship, memory and discipline.'
Ian McMillan, The Verb, BBC
Radio 3
'Haunting and highly evocative... a deeply moving
tale.'
Cape Times
‘An engrossing read, a
hugely enjoyable emotional voyage.’
John McRae, author of The Routledge
Guide to Modern Writing
'By the end of the first chapter
I was so totally hooked that everything else had
to be put on hold until I’d finished it!'
Sharon Bakar, The Star (Kuala
Lumpur)
Thirteen by Sebastian Beaumont -
'Sebastian Beaumont's novel Thirteen is the best thing
I have read this year and one of the two or three finest
books I have come across since the new century kicked
in.'
Scott Pack, The Friday Project and former Head
Buyer at Waterstones
'Sebastian Beaumont pulls off
two impressive feats in his first novel. He writes
a colloquial, first-person narrative that is consistently
engaging; and he creates a dreamlike, alternate world
without stretching the reader's credulity or patience.'
Nicholas Clee, The
Guardian
'Stimulating and entertaining'
Francis King
'His writing style was crystal clear and effortless
and the story was like nothing I'd read before... Well
worth a read.'
Gary Davison, Paperbooks authors' blog.
Bulletproof Suzy by Ian Brotherhood -
'Bulletproof Suzy is certainly
not the kind of girl you’d take home to meet the parentals. It is
a heady mix, to be sure, and one that easily pulls
you right through this, Brotherhood’s debut novel.
It’s a fast read and as entertaining as it is
brutal.'
The Big Issue
'This is an ambitious, powerful novel from an important
new voice.'
Jules Horne
'Brotherhood... demonstrates a unique view and flair
for action.'
Michael Stotter, Shotsmag
The Painted Messiah by Craig Smith -
'I got paper friction burns on
my fingers and pressure sores elsewhere because I
could barely move until I'd finished it. Things were
so tense that at several points I had to remind myself
to breathe . . This is definitely the book for that
long haul flight or the arduous train journey, you'll
be there in a flash, but be sure to pack the portable
defibrillator just in case.'
Dovegreyreader’s
literary blog
'A marvellously thrilling book . . . the distinction
between villain and hero is constantly blurred. . .
a most enthralling story.'
Paul Doherty, author of
the Hugh Corbett mysteries
'A rattling good yarn. Fast
paced, exciting and very very filmic.'

I Married a Pirate by Samantha David -
'A rip-roaring ride. Huge
fun and a really interesting new voice.'
Katie Fforde
'Pure joy - this unlikely romance between the phlegmatic
Camilla and her atypical pirate lover sizzles from
start to finish.'
Trisha Ashley
'A swashbuckling lesson to us all... Samantha David
got me hook, line and sinker.'
Guardian Abroad
'An excellent read... I couldn't put it down... I
heartily recommend you get a copy!'
Expats Radio
'Samantha David’s wicked
sense of humour will have you laughing out loud on
many an occasion as you read this riotous romp! I
Married a Pirate is hilarious, innovative and thoroughly
original and... had me giggling from the first page
till the very last.'
