Singing Lessons for the Stylish Canary by Laura Stanfill
Suspenseful and heartwarming, a whimsical journey full of friendship, adventure, and self-discovery. Georges Blanchard is revered in the small French town of Mireville as a master serinette maker and for a miraculous incident in his childhood that earned him the title “The Sun-Bringer.” As his firstborn son, Henri Blanchard is expected to follow in his footsteps, but Henri would rather learn to make lace than music boxes.
When Henri discovers a stash of American letters in his father’s drawer, he learns he’s not the firstborn son at all: Henri has an older half-brother born to one of Georges’s American customers. When he crosses the ocean to encounter his half-brother, Henri discovers there’s an entire world beyond Mirevilleace and there may be a perfect place for him yet. Purchase at http://bit.ly/3EwxVJP.

Visions of Johanna by Peter Sarno
Johanna, an artist, and Matt, a music critic, couldn’t be more different, but by a simple twist of fate, she plucks him from a crowd at a Dylan concert. What follows is a heady and intense relationship buffeted by the usual suspects that gently rocked the ‘80s. Matt’s lessons in art—as well as life—at the hands of Johanna drive the novel into pockets of feminism and quiet revolution. All of this is tempered by deeply held traumatic secrets that torque their intimacy.
The novel travels through time and social unrest to the final moment. Within its pages, tragedies haunt, acts of moral goodness manifest themselves, and benevolence reigns with a finality that absolves all. “A beautifully intimate romance that doesn’t shy away from challenging topics,” says Publishers Weekly’s BookLife.
