THE SECRET BOOK OF FLORA LEA BY PATTI CALLAHAN HENRY
If these haven’t already made your list, be sure to add them to your TBR. From nonfiction to romance to children’s to horror — and everywhere in between — we’ve got you covered. Happy reading!
The Secret Book of Flora Lea might be billed as historical fiction, but that’s not its main purpose. It’s rather a compelling meditation on the essence and importance of storytelling, whether in post-WWII London or our modern era. Can anyone really ever “own” a story, especially when it’s passed down from generations? If that story has made anxious souls feel safe and loved on a cold night, isn’t that all we want from a great story? Does it even matter where it came from? All of these questions and more are posed in Patti Callahan Henry’s latest novel, a must-read for anyone who has ever felt loved and comforted by a good story.
