I am very pleased that The Sister Queens  is one of fifteen books featured by Sarah Johnson in a “visual preview” of historical fiction releases piquing her interest this spring.  Sarah recently received the 2012 Louis Shores Award in recognition of her excellence in book reviewing (both at her fantastic blog, Reading the Past, and in other forums).  Thanks to Sarah’s post my own mental  “to be read” pile has just expanded by a couple of absolutely fascinating novels I’d not yet heard of and likely wouldn’t have discovered for months yet sans Sarah.
