I'm looking for a great, new 2025/2026 read - a novel set somewhere in small-town America that focuses on family secrets and relationships. I like interesting historical time periods - the Great Depression, the post-war 1950s, the radical 1970s, etc.

Look forward to getting your ideas for a new read for me. Thanks.

The Many Daughters of Afong Moy
By Jamie Ford

This novel moves across time, but its emotional core rests in family trauma passed down through generations, including sections grounded in mid-20th-century America. It’s intimate, reflective, and rooted in how history shapes identity inside families, especially the things left unsaid. It a good read sorry for the delay I just turn my notifications on.

Adytum by Mary Cools, check it out

Thanks for your reply. And good luck with your book.

Thanks, A Putnam-Bey for suggesting a Jamie Ford book. I shall read 'The Many Daughters of Afong Moy'.

Hi Miriam /folks - I am looking for a few good and honest reviewers of my book: Morph: Demise of Knacc: The making of a perfect soldier forces the world’s spies into action

Would you be interested?

Thanks Tim

Hi Tim
Thanks for asking me. However, you write in a genre I simply don't read, so I don't think I'd be in a position to give your book a fair review.

Good luck with 'Morph.'

hiii looking for nice recommendations for kindle books! any genre (no self help) smutty or not idm I read all types of books!

Have you read 'A Marriage at Sea' - a couple stranded in a life raft after their yacht capsized? Quite a nail biter in places and a tear-jerker in others.

I think 'Late City' by Robert Olsen starts with a small-town midwest setting.

Grapes of Wrath?
