I've just had some very exciting news!



BITTER GREENS has been named one of the Best Historical Novels of 2014 by Library Journal in the US. This is really thrilling news for me - I was one of only two Australian authors named (the other was Liane Moriarty for BIG LITTLE LIES). 



BITTER GREENS has been out in the US for a month now and has been getting some absolutely wonderful reviews. 



Here are just a few: 



'I've never quite come across a book like BITTER GREENS and I highly doubt I will find something quite as magical and heartbreaking in the near future.' Scott Reads It



"You know those books that feel written just for you? It’s as though the author looked deep into your soul and wrote a tale with you in mind. Meet Bitter Greens. It really is as though Kate Forsyth peeked into my heart and crafted a story for me and me alone ... this really is a perfect novel." The Pretty Good Gatsby 




There is so much to this novel that there's no way possible for me to talk about it all in one review. This is the first book I've read by the author, and I was blown away. There is so much depth and life in the novel - with the intertwining story lines, beautiful imagery, and incredibly realistic characters, among many other things - that it can easily be called a masterpiece of fiction.' A Dream Within A Dream



I'm so glad that US readers are loving BITTER GREENS so much, because I poured my heart and soul into this novel. 



In the meantime, please forgive my recent silence! I'm travelling & touring & trying to finish my next historical novel for adults (a retelling of the Grimm Brothers' Beauty & the Beast, set in Nazi Germany).
