Esther of the Singing Hands, beloved musician, has her violin stolen while in Perach. Shira Glassman has once again given us joyful queer Jewish stories in a fantasy setting, and this series continues to be enormously loved by me.Ī Harvest of Ripe Figs is a whodunnit mystery centring on the theft of a violin. I’ve had this review sitting here long enough that I’m struggling to be coherent, so this may be a bit of a bullet-point thing rather than my usual. May I say off the bat how utterly delightful it is to have a representation of parenting as a joyful, communal family thing that doesn’t take away from Shulamit’s power/authority? It is delightful. Queen Shulamit is busy ruling and parenting. I recommend reading them both because they are wonderful, although the author has written all the books in this series to stand alone.Ī Harvest of Ripe Figs is an utter delight. This book is the third book in the Mangoverse series, following The Second Mango and Climbing the Date Palm. Queen Shulamit carefully studied the two necklaces before her.

Choi is the New York Times bestselling author of Emergency Contact, Permanent Record, and Yolk. Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together now don’t want anything to do with each other. Jayne is an emotionally stunted, self-obsessed basket case who lives in squalor, has egregious taste in men, and needs to get to class and stop wasting Mom and Dad’s money (if you ask June). June’s three years older, a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and an equally soulless apartment (according to Jayne). Choi comes a funny and emotional story about two estranged sisters and how far they’ll go to save one of their lives–even if it means swapping identities. “Sneaks up on you with its insight and poignancy.” –Entertainment Weekly From New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. |
