This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron
One of the (many) perks of working in an independent bookshop is that you get to meet the enthusiastic and lovely publisher reps who travel the globe showcasing the many new and exciting books coming your (our)way.
We hope that the easing of restrictions will allow us to once again meet in person.
Until then, here is a review of our ‘Book of the Week’ by Elena from Bloomsbury publishing. Hope to see you soon!
‘In July I read This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron, the author of our bestselling Cinderella is Dead and I really loved it! Briseis is a black teenager who lives in Brooklyn and has been adopted by two wonderful mums. She has a special power over plants. When they move to the countryside because Bri inherited a house with a secret garden, a lot of her past gets uncovered and mystery and danger wait behind the corner. There is a lot of Greek Mythology which is super cool and a cast of diverse characters and intriguing plants.
Definitely a five star read! ‘
