Unfortunately those books are only available in Australia and New Zealand, and the UK. I haven't heard from my US publisher that they are likely to publish those books at this stage. Fingers crossed that they do some time in the future!(less)

So, for this newsletter, let’s talk about other people’s books instead—more specifically, my favourite rea

Sittenfeld is one of my favourite writers. But I’d never read her first book. Maybe I thought a story about high school teenagers wouldn’t be that interesting? Yes, I was wrong. Sittenfeld can literally make anything interesting.

I thought this was going to be a book about women fighting to earn their place in the race to be astronauts. And it was, but it kind of also wasn’t. I’m about to utter a sentence I never thought I’d say: I wanted more of the space action.

Quotes by Natasha Lester  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“she could make women feel stronger and bolder and more courageous, as they would need to be through these dark times.”
Natasha Lester, The Paris Seamstress

“She ran straight into Leo’s open arms, unable to stop the tears from falling, feeling at last defended, like a single musical note that had finally found the symphony to which it belonged.”
Natasha Lester, Her Mother's Secret

“For four years we spied and we worked damn hard and we saved people's lives and we made a difference and nobody cared too much that we were women. And then it all ended. Went backward, even.”
Natasha Lester, The Three Lives of Alix St Pierre
