Join me for another great month of reading. My Reading Recommendations - November recap features reviews of The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner, The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon, Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak, and The Price of Loyalty by Malve von Hassell.

These stories are so well written that I feel I stepped into the worlds of Esme Nicoll and Peggy Jones, worlds where women yearn for more than what they’re allowed. Esme longs for words and a way to define her life experience. Peggy longs to read and learn about the books she helps to bind every day.

Quick summaries of 7 novels I recommend you add to your reading list.
