As Lolly approaches his teen years, he’s pressured to join a neighborhood “crew” just like his brother did - knowing that it would offer him protection, but also a dangerous life. In David Barclay Moore’s stunning debut novel, The Stars Beneath Our Feet, 12-year-old Harlem resident Lolly Rachpaul is about to endure his first Christmas without his older brother, who died months earlier in a gang-related shooting. The book hardly seems able to stay between its covers, bulging as it is with so many astonishments, so many crossings of fictional lines.It is, moreover, a genuine publishing phenomenon over which the book world (and even the film world) is buzzing with barely contained excitement.

In the center of the novel appears a book within a book, a narrative of T.S.’s ancestors written by his mother. Spivet, a debut novel narrated by the pre-pubescent cartographer, filled to the very edges of each page with his hundreds of drawings and other assorted marginalia.

Even though it would, in fact, be all of a piece with their pasts. Lawrence Browne, the Earl of Radnor, is mad. The Lawrence Browne Affair Cat Sebastian Romance / Historical. Okay, people didn’t quite manage to communicate properly and talk out their problems - but at least they avoided throwing away all the evidence they’d seen with their own eyes, and avoided just believing the worst of each other instantly. The easy and obvious conflict was not what happened, and the characters trusted each other and the bond they were forming, in a way that often doesn’t happen in romance novels (and presumably real life, but I don’t enjoy it there either). Once again, she surprised me with the way the plot worked out. I wasn’t a huge fan of his character from his portrayal in the first book, but I’ve thought that before with Sebastian’s books, and she made it work once we’re in close-third POV and can see Georgie’s thoughts and understand his damage. The Lawrence Browne Affair features a side character from the first book: none other than Georgie Turner, conman and thief extraordinaire.
