PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Rainbow Rowell lives in Omaha, Nebraska. She has written two bestselling YA novels, Fangirl and Eleanor & Park, which spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
A playful mash-up of new fare and fan favorites for Rowell completists, and an inviting introduction for new readers. * Publishers Weekly * The remarkable Rowell offers readers a generous serving of nine exemplary short stories that are, from the first to the last, romances of a sort... the appeal of these enchanting stories is universal, and their publication provides an occasion for celebration. Lots of love has gone into the bookmaking as well, with the text printed in teal and aubergine, interior illustrations, a ribbon bookmark, and stained page edges all creating an appealing package. Best-selling and beloved, Rowell's writing will entice readers to the library in droves, whatever the weather. * Booklist (starred review) * Rowell offers more of what she does best: character-driven stories interlaced with a healthy dose of nerdiness and a little sappy indulgence thrown in as a treat. It's easy to get swept up in these tales and root so passionately for the protagonists that it almost hurts, but readers will close the covers feeling satisfied...A treat. * Kirkus Reviews *
