A new book from one of my favourite authors is out today

‘City of Hope’, the newest novel by author Kate Kerrigan, will be released in the United Kingdom this Thursday, March 29^th. City of Hope is the much-anticipated sequel to ‘Ellis Island: A Novel’ (Pan MacMillan 2009), which was chosen as a Channel 4 TV Book Club Summer Read in 2010. I read ‘Ellis Island’ last summer and absolutely adored Ellie Hogan, she is such a wonderful, strong character.

This latest instalment follows Ellie as she leaves Ireland in search of solace in New York City, but finds the city that once welcomed her with open arms in the vice grip of the Great Depression.

Pan MacMillan is also re-releasing Kate Kerrigan’s acclaimed first novel, Recipes for a Perfect Marriage. The new paperback edition features a new, gorgeously designed cover. Inside, the reader will enjoy the trials and tribulations of Tressa, a New York food writer, as she discovers the secrets to marital bliss through her grandmother’s recipes.

 Kate Kerrigan’s books are available through her blog, katekerriganauthor.tumblr.com. She is also available on Twitter (@katekerrigan) and Facebook.

I am so looking forward to reading these books and seeing how one of my favourite characters – Ellie – is getting on! Look out for a review here soon.
