Step aside Pride and Prejudice there's a new romance on the English moors. Nadine Brandes author of Romanov Caroline George infuses an epistolary love story with a romance and charm that crosses centuries. Touching and inventive it bursts with wit warmth and a blending of classic and contemporary that goes together like scones and clotted cream. Dearest Josephine is a delight. Emily Bain Murphy author of The Disappearances Dearest Josephine is more than an immersive read. It is a book lover's dream experience. Josie's residence in a gothic English manor and her deeply romantic connection to Elias who lived years in the past is as chillingly atmospheric as Rochester calling across the moors. This story is George's treatise on the power of books and character to creep across centuries to pull us close and invite us to live in a fantasy where we find love literally in the kinship of ink and binding. But it also acknowledges the dangers of letting ourselves fall too deeply when sometimes an equally powerful connection is waiting next door. This love letter to books and the readers who exist in and for them is a wondrously singular escape. Rachel Mc Millan author of The London Restoration and The Mozart Code Romantic and evocative read in both contemporary and historical time periods Stand - alone novel Book length: 86,000 words Includes discussion questions for book clubs
