#bookreview ~ DEVASTATION ROAD by Jason Hewitt @JasonHewitt123

Devastation Road IS one of THOSE books

This IS one of THOSE reviews

I received my copy of Devastation Road from Schribner and swiftly pushed it up my TBR pile. I have really been looking forward to it for many reasons but mainly after reading the following:

‘Perfect for fans of Rose Tremain and Sebastian Faulk’s Birdsong’

Birdsong is possibly one of my all time greats, so Devastation Road had a lot to live up to in my eyes!! Also, I have recently read, LOVED and reviewed The Gustav Sonata by Rose Tremain.

No pressure then Jason!!

Read on to see my thoughts….

All Fall Down by Tom Bale – My Review

‘RING A RING O’ ROSES

RING A RING O’ ROSES’

Tom Bale’s name kept popping up on my twitter feed from fellow book bloggers so I thought I would see if I could get to read one of his books.

As luck would have it, Tom Bale’s latest novel, All Fall Down, will be released on September 1st by Bookouture and I was fortunate to get my hands on a copy to read

I would like to thank Bookouture  and NetGalley for my review copy.

All Is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker – My Review

‘You can erase the memory

But you cannot erase the crime.’

All Is Not Forgotten is a book delivery I got really excited about.

Published by Harper Collins, Wendy Walker has written an absolute stonker of a novel. I had heard a lot of the buzz about it on social media, in advance of receiving my copy, so that always makes me nervous.

I was NOT disappointed. My review below is as honest as ever and I just hope I do this wonderful novel justice in my writings…

#bookreview : The Girl From The Savoy by @HazelGaynor

‘A FADING LEGEND

A RISING STAR

THE SECRETS THAT HAUNT THEM….’

In recent month there has been a phenomenal amount of books that I want to pick up and read. The Girl From The Savoy has been one of those books.

From past reviews you will see that I am drawn to historical fiction of a certain era, namely 1920s and 1940s. The Girl From The Savoy, published earlier this Summer by Harper Collins, is a novel set in the post WW1 era of the 1920’s.

A beautiful read, here is my review. I do hope you enjoy!!

Everything I Don’t Remember by Jonas Hassen Khemiri – My Review

‘Who decides what is important and what is superfluous?

All I know is that the more details I give you the more it seems like I’m leaving out’

Everything I Don’t Remember is the fourth novel by Swedish author Jonas Hassen Khemiri. In 2015, it was awarded Swedan’s August Prize, one of the most celebrated and prestigious literary Prizes in Sweden. Named after the famous Swedish author August Strindberg, the award was established with the hope of increasing public interest in Swedish contemporary literature

Everything I Don’t Remember is translated from Swedish by Rachel William-Broyles and published in English very recently. I received my copy from Sophie Orme, editorial director of Scribner, in return for my honest review.
