Friday Finds


Books I’ve heard about this week:


Grace Hammer: A Novel of the Vicorian Underwold, by Sara Stockbridge. Heard about this through the LTER program; and with my love of all things Victorian, thought I might enjoy this one, set in 1888 in London’s East Eng.


The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein, by Peter Ackroyd. This one has been out for a while, but the US version is coming out this fall (the US cover is quite macabre).


The Aviary Gate, by Katie Hickman. Won this this month through LTER.

Threshold of Life, by Hella Haasse. I just finished In a Dark Wood Wandering, and enjoyed it a lot, so I thought I might enjoy this one, set in 5th century Rome.

I read The Aviary Gate a while ago when it was out in hardcover. I thought it was pretty good.

I saw Grace Hammer on LTER too -- it scared me that they related it to Oliver Twist though. I have a feeling that it is going to be violent. I will probably just get it at the library.

I have been dying for The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein though! I need to get that one soon.
