Review: The Bookman’s Tale by Charlie Lovett

by The Lit Bitch8 Comments on Review: The Bookman’s Tale by Charlie Lovett

The socially awkward Peter Byerly is an antiquarian book collector who might have just made a huge discovery.

Peter might have just discovered a manuscript–possibly a new Shakespearean manuscript–which needless to say would be priceless!

Peter is in a bad spot, he’s just lost his wife nine months prior to the opening of the novel, and he’s really only ever loved two things…..books and Amanda. So now he’s left with only his books.

Living in America, he decides to leave behind his old life and go live in the country cottage in the English countryside that him and Amanda bought before her death.

Living in the cottage makes Peter somewhat of a recluse. But while flipping through some old books/papers, he finds a portrait of a woman that looks a lot like Amanda…..but the problem is, the portrait was painted 100 years before she was even born! Could it possibly be her? What is her connection to the painting?

Review: One Plus One by Jojo Moyes

by The Lit Bitch6 Comments on Review: One Plus One by Jojo Moyes

I’ve been a fan of Jojo Moyes since I read Me Before You last year. Since then I’ve read two more of her novels, The Girl You Left Behind and Silver Bay.

I love her storytelling style and her romances are usually unique, touching, and compelling. However, the last novel I read by her, Silver Bay, lacked some of her usual magic so needless to say I was hesitant to review One Plus One.

The reviews I had seen online though made me decide to read One Plus One, in hopes of recapturing some of the magic from Moyes earlier novels. I was glad that I decided to give this one a shot.

This novel is a numbers game! Jess Thomas is a single mom with two kids and two jobs. Her kids are a little on the different side. The daughter, Tanzie, is a mathematical genius and her eyeliner wearing son Nicky struggles to fit in.

He travels to the West Indies and while there is he arrested for piracy and ultimately sold into slavery. His shipmate returns home to England and marries James’s betrothed. When James learns of this he plans his revenge and is filled with anger and hate.
