โœจ New from the Welsh Womenโ€™s Classics series! โœจ Country Landlords tells the story of young lovers torn apart by feuds, politics and betrayal. Set during the 1848 revolutions, this is a powerful romance about fate, class and the ties that bind.

BLOG TOUR Review: Dancing on Knives by Joanneย Rush I received an advanced review copy of this book for free as part of the blog tour organised by Random Things Tours. This did not affect my opinion of the book in any way. Publisher: HonnoPublished: 30 January 2025Pages: 294 Synopsis Laura, a brilliant young Bosnian refugee, must confront her harrowing past when she falls in love with British diplomat Adam, whose job takes them to Serbia โ€“ the country that once invaded her own.

Today is my stop on the blog tour for Dancing on Knives by Joanne Rush. This quietly powerful book is on track to be one of my favourites this year!

Thanks to Random Things Tours, @honnopress.bsky.social and the author for having me on the tour!
