One of the top
books being published this April that librarians across the country have chosen
as a Library Reads pick is the latest by award-winning and best selling author
Susanna Kearsley entitled “A Desperate Fortune”. Perhaps intentionally
published in time for Autism Awareness month, the heroine of this mesmerizing
story happens to be on the spectrum.
"Kearsley's decision to offer
a fully developed, romantic lead with the perspective of Asperger's is a
welcome and refreshing idea. Incorporating rich historical details that feel as
vivid as the present enables readers to quickly lose sense of time as the
author weaves threads from two eras into one dramatic tapestry."
- Library Journal
"Kearsley
is an expert at seamlessly merging contemporary and historical fiction... The
colorful history and romance of the 18th century, combined with the
contemporary mystery, create a tale readers will savor." - RT Book
