We have two books up for grabs this week - Season of Salt & Honey, by Hannah Tunnicliffe (Macmillan), and East of Eden, by Izabela Shopova (Inkwater Press).
Season of Salt & Honey: Frankie is a runaway bride. Or rather, she is running away from her fianc?’s funeral, the unthinkable event that has thrown her entire life into crisis. Frankie and Alex were high school sweethearts and each other’s first loves. They should have been together forever. But Alex died in a surfing accident, and now Frankie is walking away from her family, driving north and east, letting her body do the thinking, all the way into the Cascade Mountain range.
East of Eden: Travel writer Izabela Shopova never perceived her life in New Zealand as exile and emigration as martyrdom, as it is the custom (and pretty much a patriotic obligation) in her native Bulgarian cultural and literary tradition. Her life in Aotearoa was a challenge and a lifetime adventure, a love affair and a comedy (with just a bit of drama) in a land regarded by the rest of the world as the Last Eden on Earth. East in Eden tells the luminous, heartfelt, and hilarious story of Shopova’s six years in New Zealand, chronicling all the hardship and joy, suffering and fun, mundane and the extraordinary, that she experienced in a country she reluctantly but helplessly fell in love with.
