New book review blog by Cornelia Merula, specialising in historical fiction, has a review of The Man from Pomegranate Street by Caroline Lawrence...
The new blog looks worth following if you're into historical fiction because, as the blogger says in her introductory post, it's becoming increasingly difficult to discover new authors via review pages in the print press:
Unfortunately, I've been finding it increasingly hard to find any information on new titles - review spaces in national publications tend to be given over to established authors that I'm already familiar with, as do promotional spaces in bookstores, and while I understand the commercial reasoning behind this, it doesn't particularly help me when I'm stuck on a long train journey. I hope I'm not alone in wanting to discover new, exciting historical fiction or even rediscover old, forgotten historical fiction. For myself, and any other readers of this blog, I aim to rectify this by not only providing other readers, other fans, of historical fiction with comprehensive reviews of new titles, but also offer new authors a platform to promote their work that they wouldn't otherwise have.
