Just received a recommendation by #PersephoneBooks: "Sofia Petrovna" by #LydiaChukovskaya - one of the few surviving contemporaneous accounts of the #GreatPurge, composed secretly in a school notebook in lilac ink during the winter of 1939-40...1/
Lovely Literary News!
My author mom and I both loved Winifred Watson's 1938 "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" and I scoured libraries for years looking for more to no avail... Happily, #PersephoneBooks is republishing one that got away, Hop, Step and Jump!

#16 of my 2025 books: surprisingly good American novel from 1920s about a woman who does not have a domestic bone in her body who is able to become the careerist when her husband falls from a roof and has to stay at home. He is the perfect parent: infinitely patient. #booksky #persephonebooks

Wonderful praise has just come in for 'Crooked Cross' by Sally Carson from the novelist Rachel Joyce, who calls it 'an electrifying masterpiece.'
'Crooked Cross' by Sally Carson, from #PersephoneBooks paints a vivid and prescient portrait of one's family's struggles during the rise of the Nazis.

In honor of Jane Austen's birthday, a flashback to the time I visited Bath, and was prevented from attending the Regency Costumed Parade at the Jane Austen festival when I fell ill after eating a dodgy scone. #bathuk #bath #england #janeausten #travel #travelphotography #persephonebooks
Hoping Persephone Books will join Bluesky. I have missed following them. #persephonebooks

I adore everything #persephonebooks you honestly can’t go wrong with any of their books. Typically female centric lost works from authors who were ahead of their times.
My rainy weekend just got much more interesting with the delivery of these three #PersephoneBooks; Still Missing, Good Food on the Aga, and Mariana.
