I have seldom read a debut novel that has moved me more deeply than The Sisters. This story of Mabel and Bertie covers eighty years and three generations of women who fight the battlefields of their past, tangled links and secrets, not able to unlock what they have kept "caged", and not being able to reveal what they have shared during their divisions and reunions. The author's unique talent to tell a story about "her women” will take you on a journey with these poignant characters and open your heart to every emotion it can possibly hold. Heart-warming, heart-wrenching, and so beautifully told that you will find yourself walking each step in the soulful shadows of the sisters and the loved ones they try, each in their own way, to protect. This is a 5-star plus recommendation from me.

Inspired by a life long passion for the novels by Jane Austen, P.D. James has taken pen to paper to recreate the world of Pride and Prejudice. Masterfully written with excitement and suspense, this is a brilliantly crafted novel that will be embraced by Austen fans around the globe. All of the beloved characters are present: the Darcy family, the Bingley’s and of course Wickham. The spirit of Jane Austen stealthily creeps in and out of every page as does the mist at Pemberley.

One of the most enriching historical fiction novels I have read to date! Filled with passion and brilliance through intellect and imagination. Deborah Harkness has brewed one magical first book to an upcoming trilogy
