A new Star in our book universe

If you're interested in historical fiction, you should check out a slim volume among our new books, At the Sign of the Star, by Katherine Sturtevant. Based in 17th century England, Meg, the daughter of a London bookseller, would rather spend her time in her father's shop than learning how to cook and sew. She plans on inheriting her father's business one day, until he remarries and puts her future in doubt.

If you like strong girl characters with a bit of rebellion, historical fiction or want to read about London in the 17th century, this would be a great book for you. There is also a sequel called A True and Faithful Narrative.
