I’ve read a couple of really good books recently and highly recommend A Fall of Marigolds by Susan Meissner and Someone Else’s Shoes by JoJo Moyes. A Fall of Marigolds has an interesting historical timeline and focuses on two American tragedies. I loved the camaraderie and women-against-the-odds aspect of Someone Else’s Shoes. Both have well-developed and intriguing characters. Happy reading! Do you have recommendations for us?

I agree with you about A Fall of Marigolds. I haven’t read the other.
Susan Meissner presented at the Historical Novel Society conference in June. I really enjoyed listening to her speak about creating her dual timeline novels.
