The Boy in the Rain (2023)
Stephanie Cowell
"A tender and immersive love story such as you've never read before... Cowell evokes the glamor as well as the underbelly of Edwardian England, a place rife with prejudice and social injustice, where the book's protagonists - a working-class artist and a well-born socialist crusader - search for love, meaning, and redemption. The characters, the story, and the landscape are utterly immersive, utterly compelling."

The Woman in the Moonlight (2020)
Patricia Morrisroe
"The Woman in the Moonlight shines a light into nineteenth-century Europe’s political and cultural history, revealing lives that are just as nuanced, tortured, and decadent as any we might read about in the tabloids today. Morrisroe’s touching debut novel is a tribute to the focus, tenacity, courage, and sacrifice demanded by both art and what is commonly called true love."
