I love a period piece and I love a little bit of fantasy in my books. Chloe Gong has been able to mix the two in her novels that are set in early 1900s Shang-hai. After being saved from the brink of death and made immortal, Rosalind Lang decides to use her newfound powers to bring justice to the streets of a broken Shang-hai.

Greek and Norse mythology have had their moment in the spotlight. Now it’s time for Irish culture to take centre stage. First-time author Claire Wright has created a world that brings our own mythology to life in a modern way.

Missing Bridgerton? Aren’t we all! Well, thankfully Lex Croucher is back to fill that hole with her second novel Infamous. It’s been touted as Booksmart meets Bridgerton which is as good a reason as any to get stuck into this period piece. The novel follows aspiring writer Edith ‘Eddie’ Miller and her best friend Rose as they spend the summer at what was promised to be a beautiful country manor.
