Backwards Into the Future by Bronwyn Elsmore
SAVE $1 on US and UK
This is a novel with a strong sense of place – small town New Zealand. It is a growing-up story of two girls from different races by an award-winning author.
Reviews say: “…a beautiful, gentle book, told through the memories of Mary…”
“It is a warm and evocative story, full of misty memories of simpler, sunnier times when children skipped rope, biked around the neighbourhood and went to the movies once a month. It was the era of the Monday washday, home-cooked family meals and the outside dunny…It is essentially a gentle story, with a little mystery in the background. Whether the past will be revealed is another matter. Readers who remember their golden childhoods will love it.”
After the Fog by Kathleen Shoop
After the Fog is set in Donora, Pennsylvania, an area of Northern Appalachia, states away from where Demon Copperhead is set in a more southern section of Appalachia. But, After the Fog is also a small town story where, like Demon Copperhead, its setting acts as a character, shaping the plot and the development of those who people the story.
Set in 1948, After the Fog is inspired by the true event called the Killing Smog, an event that spurred the formation of the EPA and changed the way industrial waste was viewed by citizens and the government.
At its heart, After the Fog chronicles community nurse, Rose Pavlesic's attempt to right her life and save the lives of her friends and family during the devastating five days of fog. For readers who love small town drama and high stakes, After the Fog is a nice historical complement to Demon Copperhead's modern take on the ways one's environment impacts every aspect of their lives--inside and out.
