The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford [Review]

A hand holding a copy of The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford against a backdrop of a bed with an unlit candle atop a blanket

Did you know? There is an island off the coast of Scotland which was home to a small population until 1930.

Elisabeth Gifford, in The Lost Lights of St Kilda, breathes life into this time period.

The Butchers by Ruth Gilligan [Review]

1990s Ireland. BSE crisis. This genre-defying novel is Gilligan’s best yet. An excellent multi-viewpoint novel.

If You Want to Make God Laugh by Bianca Marias [Review]

This was a 5⭐️ read for me. I LOVED it. If You Want to Make God Laugh follows the stories of three very different women living in post-Apartheid South Africa; as Nelson Mandela came to power and the AIDs epidemic was raging on. All three women have really distinct characters and experiences and female readers will find plenty to connect with.

The Sealwoman’s Gift by Sally Magnusson [Review]

“By now others may have written their own accounts of captivity. Men, of course. They will all be men. Does it matter that nobody will know how it was to be a woman?”
