I need to start reading Stella Gibbons. I've always liked Dean Street's covers. Wanted to get Alison Lurie in them.

I've thought of starting with Invitation to the Waltz or Dusty Answer, but this sounds really interesting too.

A glimpse of the covers of our forthcoming US edition of Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage, each incorporating a portion of detailed map of London in 1895. It will be available only as a set and exclusively from @asterismbooks.bsky.social by the end of September 2025.
