Giveaway | Miss Emily, by Nuala O'Connor

Check out the book trailer here.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Eighteen-year-old Ada Concannon has just been hired by the respected but eccentric Dickinson family of Amherst, Massachusetts. Despite their difference in age and the upstairs-downstairs divide, Ada strikes up a deep friendship with Miss Emily, the gifted elder daughter living a spinster’s life at home. But Emily’s passion for words will dominate her life: she will wear only white and avoids the world outside the Dickinson homestead. When Ada’s safety and reputation are threatened, however, Emily must face down her demons to help her friend, with shocking consequences. Emily and Ada are mistress and servant. This novel asks whether either of them can escape the power of the circumstances they were born into.

I am currently reading <i>The Wake</i> by Paul Kingsnorth, and I'm liking it a lot. While the language makes it a difficult read, IMHO it is definitely rewarding and unique enough to merit the extra time and attention. Thanks for featuring this book; I am really looking forward to reading it. Cheers, Kara S

A historical fiction novel I could read over and over is "Memoirs of a Geisha."

Hm. For some reason I can't think of a specifically historical fiction novel, but the one that pops into my head is the Serpents of Chaos.
