Lovely War
"Berry’s evocative novel . . . gains steam as the stories flesh out. Along the way, it suggests that while war and its devastation cycles through history, the forces of art and love remain steady, eternal, and life-sustaining." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place
“Readers with a penchant for dark humor will relish Berry’s tongue-in-cheek murder mystery set in a late-19th-century British girls’ boarding school. ...danger lurks around every corner in this delightfully farcical tale, full of twists and turns.” ―Publisher's Weekly, starred review
The Emperor's Ostrich
"Berry works a kind of magic with this enchanting adventure, orchestrating individual characters’ stories into a seamlessly unified narrative." - Booklist, starred review
The Passion of Dolssa
"This beautifully crafted plot would be enough on its own, but Berry does so much more . . . despite the book’s gravity, Berry also manages to infuse her story with laughter and light." —Booklist, starred review
All the Truth That's In Me
"Lyrical language, a good mystery, and a compelling heroine – this is a page-turner with substance." —School Library Journal, starred review
