RARE OBJECTS - Couverture souple

“A beautifully written, thoroughly absorbing novel, full of rich historical detail and intriguing characters. A delight from start to end.” (Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Who Came Home and A Memory of Violets)

“Excellent. . . Tessaro has the skill to transport the reader to another time and place. She put me on the streets of Boston’s North End. But her description of places and sensations throughout the book are wonderful.” (Charles Belfoure, New York Times bestselling author of HOUSE OF THIEVES AND THE PARIS ARCHITECT)

“Tessaro’s eye for historical detail is impressive, blending the fashion, music, and cultural attitudes of 1930s Boston into a richly layered story. . . . cleverly crafted with a beguiling heroine amid sumptuous scenery. RARE OBJECTS examines the fragility of self-preservation and the power of personal reinvention.” (Booklist)

“Period details, exquisite antiques, and Maeve’s resilient immigrant community enhance this understated story. Tessaro’s sixth novel (after THE FLIRT) will please her fans as well as historical fiction readers seeking a detailed sense of place and a character’s journey.” (Library Journal)

“Set in Depression-era Boston, Kathleen Tessaro’s lovely novel about prized possessions, slick façades, broken lives, and a young woman with a past is a treasure!” (Stephanie Lehmann, author of Astor Place Vintage)

“Rare Objects is a delicious novel by the imaginative and deft Kathleen Tessaro, who creates unforgettable worlds, and within them, compelling characters who stay with the reader long after she reaches the end.” (Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars in the Heavens)

“I love Tessaro’s novels and Rare Objects does not disappoint. A glamorous tale of ambition and deception, it is beautifully written, meticulously researched and so vividly characterised that I felt I knew Diana and Mae. A wonderfully absorbing and diverting read with a clever twist in the tale.” (Isabel Wolff, author of Ghostwritten)

“Tessaro’s complicated heroines—and the shattering reveal of secret after secret—will keep readers guessing until the final page.” (Publishers Weekly)
