Unfortunately those books are only available in Australia and New Zealand, and the UK. I haven't heard from my US publisher that they are likely to publish those books at this stage. Fingers crossed that they do some time in the future!(less)

Luscious and exactly the kind of writing I like. At times I felt like I could almost scoop her sentences up from the page and eat them, they were so delicious.

“she could make women feel stronger and bolder and more courageous, as they would need to be through these dark times.”
Natasha Lester, The Paris Seamstress

“She ran straight into Leo’s open arms, unable to stop the tears from falling, feeling at last defended, like a single musical note that had finally found the symphony to which it belonged.”
Natasha Lester, Her Mother's Secret

“When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.”
Natasha Lester, The Paris Seamstress
