A House for Miss Pauline by Diana McCaulay, Feb. 25, 2025; Algonquin Books. Genre: adult novel, fantasy
I was eager to read this book by author Diana McCaulay, about a ninety-nine year-old woman in rural Jamaica who is fierce about the land she owns.
Description: With an unforgettably fierce 99-year-old Jamaican heroine, A House for Miss Pauline is a tender story with a mystery at its heart that asks profound and urgent questions about who owns the land on which our identities are forged.
How to Seal Your Own Fate by Kristen Perrin, April 29, 2025; Dutton. Genre: cozy mystery, thriller
Description: Kristen Perrin is back with the second novel in her Castle Knoll series. Annie Adams is caught in a new web of murder that spans decades, returning us to the idyllic English village that holds layers of secrets.
I am enjoying this but only wish I had read the first novel, as this one refers back to incidents that happened in that book with carry over to the follow up novel. Still an interesting read, though.
I finished two books
Both books are by Korean American authors. I'll save the reviews for Jan. 13, Korean American Day, which is on a Sunday. Perfect for that week's Sunday Salon.
