And just like that, after a summer that felt like it was entirely made up of heat waves and tropical storms, we are preparing for fall. I’m going to be real and say that, at first, I was scoffing a bit at the fall book lists I started seeing about a week ago. Weather forecasts still had a lot of us firmly in the 80s and 90s, temperature-wise, and outside was giving more iced tea than pumpkin spice.

5 Best Female Writers In Literary History, Ranked By Readers

 Hafsah Faizal (Farrar Straus Giroux 978-0-374-38940-6, hc, 336 pp) February 2024. Cover by Valentina Remenar. Hafsah Faizal has written a banger of a caper novel with A Tempest of Tea. Her tale of thieves, forgery, and political malfeasance set in the town of White Roaring takes readers on a ride with twists and turns they can never expect. Reminiscent of 19th-century London, White Roaring has a host of relatable problems such as grinding poverty and class stratification but the bigger issue for self-described siblings Arthie and Jin is the powerful security force (AKA ‘‘the Horned Guard’’). The city’s leader, the unknown but all powerful Ram, wants the Casimirs out of business and their gossipy teahouse shut down. To save the home they love, they must partner with a hashashin who is passing as a loyal soldier, threaten a powerful vampire to get inside information, and rely on a forger to pull off a near miracle. The fact that everyone has secrets (and I do mean everyone!), just makes their plan all that much more difficult to execute. Faizal keeps readers guessing until the final page where a cliffhanger ending is delivered with great panache.
