By Victoria WalshIn the sphere of historical inquiry, few works dare to intertwine documented fact with speculative reasoning as boldly, and with such baroque elegance, as The Story of Queen Mary II and the Mysterious Jean Tijou. Malcolm Adrian Fay does not merely present a book; he offers what he terms a “historical case file” - a genre-defying composition in which archival records, circumstantial evidence, artistic symbolism, and logical conjecture combine to illuminate one of the most tantali...

Matritto | Motherhood by Ameena Tabassum - REVIEW — The Book Network

A review by Victoria Walsh There’s a sweary quote by Phillip Larkin that says (paraphrased to protect the innocent), “They mess you up, your mum and dad.” Motherhood by Ameena Tabassum is a novel about precisely that. Motherhood explores the complexities of motherhood through the story of Lucy, a fifteen-year-old girl dealing with a troubled family life and the son of our protagonist, Adib, who is working through his own problems, his parents' ill-fated marriage breakup, and general teenage turm...

The Fourth Beginning by Paul Georgiou - REVIEW — The Book Network

A book review by Victoria Walsh The Fourth Beginning by Paul Georgiou is a sardonic fantasy novel about Adam and Eve Smith's search for understanding after their daughter's tragic death. Although the book is grief fiction, it isn't misery-lit. Strangely, although the subject is sad, The Fourth Beginning is uplifting and hopeful. The Smiths' journey takes them through time and space, where they encounter the hectoring Old Testament god or YHWH  and Prometheus in true Greek mythology style. If you...

Operation Fools Mate 48 by M.L Baldwin - REVIEW — The Book Network

Operation Fools Mate 48 is M.L. Baldwin’s second published novel and a sequel to Operation Fools Mate 24. 48 continues the story of dystopian Britain invaded and under attack by a believable foe. Baldwin’s main character, Mike Faulkes, finds himself and the British army up to their eyes in the sh*t, both physically and metaphorically. At this point, I want to mention that I usually don’t enjoy war books, particularly when they are written in a way that is so realistic. Baldwin’s storytelling is...
