What Fall books are you excited to recommend? Here are a few of our favorites, coming in October.
LONGBOURN by JO BAKER
In this irresistibly imagined belowstairs answer to Pride and Prejudice, the servants take center stage. And, there is just as much romance, heartbreak, and intrigue downstairs at Longbourn as there is upstairs.
“Irresistible . . . Sequels and prequels rarely add to the original, but Baker’s simple yet inspired reimagining does. It has best-seller stamped all over it.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
