I gave this book to my father for his birthday. He made the mistake of leaving it on the coffee table half-read, whereupon I picked it up and refused to put it down for the next two days. Macintyre presents a witty, fascinating portrait of a group of remarkable people--and a story so outrageous it could only be true.

Cheeky, fun, and slightly (but satisfyingly) gory. Where else are you going to meet a mild-mannered, burger-flipping, vegetarian necromancer? Meet Sam and his world, where severed heads talk, undead conspiracy looms, and the werewolf girl next door is the biggest badass of all.

Reminiscent of Paul Bowles, The Forgiven is a riveting, brilliant rendering of contemporary East-West conflict. This desert in its harshness and beauty is vividly, and artfully described. You will want to visit after finishing this outstanding novel.
Highly recommended by Mary, Frayda, Susan, and Eric.
This is one meal you won’t forget--and not because of the food! Read it and find out why. Completely riveting social commentary.

The second volume of the Maisie Dobbs series, Birds of a Feather is a wonderful stand-alone novel. Set in the 1930s, we follow Maisie on her quest to find a missing heiress in London. Part psychology, part mystery, Winspear weaves a beautiful tale that will keep you guessing till the very end!
