You're listing to all the back lists to weekly show about books that are not new.

I'm your host, Vanessa Diaz. This is episode 476.5 airing on Friday, August 16th.

And today I'm going to tell you about two more works of historical fiction because that is apparently what I like to do.

These are not recent backlist reads.

These are both books that I read quite some time ago at this point.

One for sure is straight historical fiction.

It's actually set in ancient Rome and gives a nice fleshed out story

to a woman maligned in history, which in case you are new here is so extremely

extremely my jam and the second book is told in two storylines one more or less

contemporary in the 90s and the other in 1900s Turkey and it's a story that's said against the backdrop of the Armenian genocide.

Before I tell you more about both of those books, let's hear from our sponsor.

Today's episode is brought to you by Harper Collins Publishers.

From the author of the best-selling book, The Lost Book Shop, comes another magical bookish novel

full of ordinary characters with extraordinary tales to tell.

So 100 years ago, Anna, a young farm girl, volunteers to help an intriguing American visitor

translate fairy stories from Irish to English. but Anna soon finds herself at the heart of the mystery that threatens her very way of life.

Then in the present day, Sarah Harper boards a plane bound for Ireland where she uncovers dark secrets that tread the line between the everyday and the otherworldly.

The story collector by Evie Woods is a blend of historical fiction,

fabulism, and romance.

E.E. Woods is the author of The Lost Book Shop,

the number one Wall Street Journal and Amazon Kindle

bestseller, which has sold over a million copies.
