“A much-needed contribution to the understanding of the British intelligence activities targeting Romania during World War II … . this highly readable book is a must-read for students of Romanian and British history, especially for those interested in the history of espionage and international, political, and military history, the Holocaust, and the early communist regime in Romania.” (Ștefan Cristian Ionescu, H-Net Reviews, h-net.org, October, 2018)“Professor Dennis Deletant’s recent efforts at clarifying Romania’s place in the history of the Second World War have therefore been invaluable not only for Romanian scholarship, but for wider European historiography. … Deletant’s latest book is yet another much-needed and useful addition to the history of Romania and of East-Central Europe. … Those invested in the study of history can hope that this book will rekindle scholarly interest in the evolution of this part of Europe.” (Vlad Onaciu, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, September, 2016)

&ldquo;With a knowing, satirical eye, Tess Little skillfully weaves a page-turner full of satisfying twists and turns. What starts as a murder mystery soon turns into a carnival of L.A. parties, blending and bleeding into each other as time doubles over on itself. Ultimately, The Last Guest is a moving story of power, cruelty, and one woman&rsquo;s quest to reclaim her daughter, her past, and ultimately herself.&rdquo;&mdash;Kyle McCarthy, author of Everyone Knows How Much I Love You&ldquo;Tess Little is a modern Agatha Christie, setting up her eight suspects, locking them in a sprawling Los Angeles mansion, and knocking them down one by one over the course of a decadent, stomach-turning dinner party. In trying to understand who murdered Richard, Elspeth begins a kind of katabasis&mdash;and what she finds down there in the dark with Persephone might destroy her. The Last Guest kept me guessing until the very last.&rdquo;&mdash;Tanen Jones, author of The Better Liar&ldquo;A mystery that lures you into its dark depths and won&rsquo;t let you go, and a mesmerizing meditation on the silences we keep and why we keep them.&rdquo;&mdash;Tiffany Tsao, author of The Majesties&ldquo;Dark, compelling Hollywood intrigue and a diverse cast of well-drawn characters make The Last Guest a unique locked-room mystery that readers will simply devour! It&rsquo;s&#160;perfect for fans of Lucy Foley.&rdquo;&mdash;Wendy Walker, author of Don&rsquo;t Look for Me&ldquo;With skewering intensity and taut, unsettling prose, Tess Little plunges us into the kaleidoscopic glamour of Hollywood, where the eccentric birthday party of a brilliant, sadistic director forces the eruption of long-buried pain. The Last Guest is a sharp, unshrinking look at the costs of submission&mdash;to power and control, to ambition and desire, even to the wish to protect those we love by forcing memory underground. It&rsquo;s&#160;timely, smart, and satisfying.&rdquo;&mdash;Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark&ldquo;Little intercuts the party&rsquo;s aftermath with flashbacks to Elspeth&rsquo;s past and the soiree itself,&#160;imparting tension, heft, and drive. . . . Elspeth&rsquo;s emotional journey both grips and gratifies. Little is a writer to watch.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

&ldquo;Barbara de Vries&rsquo;s Coming Home is a visual feast of wildly&#160;beautiful interiors crafted with originality and ingenuity. Each&#160;and every one has a fascinating narrative that enriches the&#160;wonderful photography, bringing you that much deeper into&#160;private worlds, which I find completely inspiring. This is a book&#160;of interiors that couldn&rsquo;t be more in sync with our times.&rdquo;&mdash;Wendy Goodman, Design Editor of New York Magazine&#160;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s all too rare, and such a treat, to have a window into a culture from an insider with the perspective of an outsider. Barbara has had the distance to identify what is truly unique to the Dutch, and the lifelong connections to find this lovely mix of creatives with&#160;inspiring, thoughtful, and hopeful stories. Coming Home is a great playbook as we&rsquo;re all looking for ways to reinvent our spaces&mdash;and just as hygge suddenly became a part of our vocabulary years ago,&#160;I think this book will do that for gezellig.&rdquo;&mdash;Yolanda Edwards, Founder and Creative Director of Yolo Journal &#160;&ldquo;In Coming Home, Barbara de Vries offers a joyful picture of&#160;contemporary Dutch domestic life. In these homes&mdash;many of which are agricultural or industrial buildings that were repurposed by&#160;their creative owners, among them architects, designers, and&#160;artists&mdash;a sense of exuberance characterizes the interiors. Some&#160;are elegantly spare, while others are filled with art, furniture,&#160;and objects, but unlike so many interiors today, there is&#160;nothing studied or precious about these spaces. They are full of meaning and heart, and speak volumes about their owners&rsquo;&#160;personalities and passions.&rdquo;&mdash;Pilar Viladas, Design Writer and Editor"Think warm colours, flattering lighting, lots of books, plants, knick-knacks &mdash; Scandi minimalism this is not.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;THE SUNDAY TIMES"The large, open space that defines Petra Janssen and Edwin Vollebergh's home is divided by a recycled glass wall designed by Piet Hein Eek.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;W MAGAZINE"Be it a charming canal house, a hyper-contemporary residence, or a humble houseboat, the Dutch have always had a special relationship with their homes and a nonchalant ease when it comes to decorating them. This book invites you inside some of the Netherlands&rsquo; most inspiring.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;ELLE DECOR&ldquo;We love how diverse the types of dwellings are&hellip;barns, train stations, windmills, an old garage&hellip;&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;HOW TO DECORATE"I was entranced with the images,&#160;the beautiful photography and then the text, which is a delicate treatise on how to live. With warmth and personality, it celebrates comfort and joy.&rdquo; - Cathleen McGuigan, Architectural Record"This photographic portfolio and accompanying texts detail how the creative Dutch community has invented a truly unique lifestyle and ways for building and decorating."&#160;&mdash;WORLD HOPE FORUM
