Such a stunning writer, it’s incredible to think this is her debut. Cannot wait to see what else is to come! If you love your historical fiction with a touch of magic, this beautifully-written exploration of Georgian London and the quest for the secret of alchemy will not disappoint.

Started reading this by @philippagregorybooks yesterday. I am now equal parts proud of these amazing women and livid at the ways in which they’ve been written out of history. A brilliant read.

Great day out in London yesterday at this brilliant exhibition. Can’t stop thinking about weasel’s testicles and penis-pets. If you know, you know.

Lucky enough to get my hands on a proof copy of this little beauty from the fabulous @orlandomurrin. If you like your cosy crime and with a twist of culinary genius then this one’s for you! Out in February 2024. And what a great title!

Arctic exploration?✔️ Victorian fascination with murder and spectacle?✔️Not one but TWO rule-breaking heroines?✔️So chuffed to get my hands on this beautifully written, meticulously researched gem of a book from @LizziePook. And that cover! ♥️
