Books by Emily Herring
“What I love about the book is she’s a great writer with a light touch. She finds ways of telling stories and relating ideas and thinkers and thoughts and social events that are completely compelling. This book has been very widely reviewed and universally praised. She’s just broken into the publishing world with this, and I expect she’ll write other biographies or philosophically-tinged books after this. It is a really significant debut and she is a writer to watch.” Read more...
