Caroline Tracey is a fantastic writer, who writes fairly regularly for The Border Chronicle, which has maybe the most important journalism being written right now about and at the US Mexico border. Love all her writing. Again, things to add to my to-read list (Tracey's is the only one of this batch I've read.)
I was able to get my hands on an advance of Yesteryear and I really enjoyed the crafting of the character, but I really need for the book to be out in the world so I can discuss my issues with the structure of the novel and the cinematic ending. I suppose my literary leanings in terms of dealing with the idea disjuncture between how a person sees themselves versus how a person is seen is more friendly to approaches like Sarah Bernstein's Study for Obedience. I think Yesteryear is a page turner, but I wish the high concept wasn't so, well, high concept.
Ooh! Caroline Tracey's brother was in our shop in Grasmere last week, so I looked up Salt Lakes - it looks fantastic. Hope to get it over here. The cover is quite splendid.
Those covers! Art…
I really like the cover of Salt Lakes especially. I've started reading that one and am loving it.
Wonderful book selections and excellent reviews!
Thank you! I'm quite pleased.

Thank you for putting Yesteryear on my radar.
Thanks for reading. It was Katie the reviewer who suggested the coverage.

Very interesting! I’ll be curious to read it myself.
Have you read Study for Obedience? I don’t know you personally, but based on your writing and expressed opinions, I think you might really like it!
No I haven't, but it looks interesting.
Really enjoying these, week by week.
Glad to hear it!
