Little Red House by Liv Andersson

 

 This book was expertly plotted. Chapters alternating between past and present kept the story engaging. The jaw dropping twists toward the end were exciting. Very well done.

The Ingenue by Rachel Kapelke-Dale

Kapelke-Dale effortlessly brought me into the world of a young jet-setting piano prodigy. I really enjoyed following Saskia's journey throughout the decades. The Fairy Tales for Young Feminists excerpts at the opening of each chapter were inspired. Very well done.

The Lindbergh Nanny by Mariah Fredericks

 

 I really enjoyed this book! I loved that it focuses mainly on Betty Gow, the Lindbergh's  nanny. Fredericks really makes the time period come alive for the reader. Betty Gow was a remarkable woman. Charlie's kidnapping and the aftermath was such a tragedy. This book was very moving and very well done.
