My “finds” are from newbooks magazine, which arrived this morning.

The Lust of Mrs Robinson will be Kate Summerscale’s next book. This is a story of a Victorian scandal involving adultery, privacy and the divorce courts. I loved her recent book The Suspicions of Mr Whicher.

An Equal Stillness by Francesca Kay, set in Spain and Cornwall, is about the lives of two artists who “embark on a poignant and painful love affair”.

The Telling by Jo Baker to be published in May in paperback is the story of Rachel putting her mother’s affairs in order, packing up and selling her mother’s house, troubled by ghosts of the past.

And the book I think I’ll choose as my “free” book is The Water Horse by Julia Gregson. This is a fictionalised account of Jane Evans, a Welsh woman who in 1853 ran off with Welsh cattle drovers and volunteered as a nurse with Florence Nightingale in the Crimea.
