I just love the title of Season of Salt and Honey! Plus the summary makes it sound like one I'd want to read as well. I hope you enjoy it as well as the rest of your books. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHarvee, the new book by Hannah Tunnicliffe does sound good. I read The Color of Tea a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI generally like alternate history novels a lot.
ReplyDeleteWith that, there seems to be an overabundance of "Nazi's won the war" books. That is not to say that such a novel cannot be good. Did you ever read Philip K Dick's "Man in the High Castle". I believe it was the first book of that type. It was odd but it is a favorite of mine.
The British Lion sounds right up my alley. It would be interesting (and terrifying) to read an alternate history where the Nazis win.
