Written in the Austen universe this sounded like a clever idea but I found the execution disappointing.

Dawoud/Dawit/David's attempt to get from Eritrea to Israel meant he had to keep changing his identity and left him feeling like black foam, tossed around but never allowed to settle. In Black Foam: A Novel by Eritrean author Haji Jabir, you can see what he's up against. Moving and eye-opening.
4★ My review of Black Foam
These inventive Backstories of famous (and infamous) people are an entertaining collection by Simon Van der Velde. The reader isn't told who they are, but there are clues to trigger your memory or send you down your favourite 'research' rabbithole.

I got very excited until I realised it is not the same Kate Griffin who wrote the Matthew Swift series! Nice review though and this book sounds good.

Phrynne, I think I requested it thinking it was that Kate Griffin, but I wasn't disappointed. I think you would enjoy it too.

One of my favourites, acclaimed Irish author John Boyne never writes the same thing twice. The Absolutist is a powerful story of the boys who met in the army and fought in WWI in the muddy trenches of France. It is both wonderful and awful.
5★ My review of The Absolutist

The many different nationalities in Josephine Moon's delicious novel, The Cake Maker's Wish, are a challenge well met by narrator Jacqui Duncan's talent for accents. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've loved every one of her novels, but The Wonderful Thing about Phoenix Rose is my favourite read this year so far: Josephine Moon's best yet! 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
