My favorite book of the year (yes, I know we aren't supposed to play favorites) goes on sale today! Happy Book Birthday to Leslie Parry and her wonderful debut historical fiction novel, Church of Marvels.
If you haven't heard me rave about this then we haven't hung out recently. Set in turn-of-the-century NYC, it's the story of three characters on the fringes of society, desperately searching for love and acceptance and uncovering a lot of secrets on their journeys.
There are side shows and lunatic asylums and opium dens involved and the writing is fantastic.
Go get yourself a copy now!
Congratulations, Leslie!
