“Here in Avalon” is the 3rd novel I’ve read of Tara Isabella Burton and probably my favorite. The less you know going into this one the better, but one sister searches for another in the NYC cabaret underworld. I am excited to see “Sleep no More” on my upcoming trip to NYC as Burton cited it as inspiration for this book.

This was utterly phenomenal! I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy based on the description, but I tend to like her writing. Jess quickly went to not able to put down territory, and I was hooked! So engaging with a story, and it left me waiting for more from her! She’s such a talented writer, and I cannot wait to read more of her work!

Two sisters, Rose and Cecilia. Rose is preparing to marry and leave her home in NYC. There is little to tie her to New York - the traumatic upbringing has forced her to make a life of her own. She raised herself and her sister and is ready to take the next steps into "adulthood" when Cecilia comes back into her life like a chaotic boomerrand.

Rose's fiance hopes she cuts ties with Cecilia but instead, Rose follows her into a fairy tale in real life -myterious red boat that picks and chooses it's passengers and offers a way to escape everyday life.

The question is - does Rose want to escape?

Thank you to Simon & Schuster for my arc!

Let me preface this by saying that i will read anything Tara Isabella Burton writes. all of her books are immediate 5 star reads for me and Here in Avalon was no different.

You are drawn into this story about two sisters and how one of them is always on an adventure and the other is trying to be the grown up and always the one to do the right thing. This story is both magical and also shows you that reality is sometimes better than imagination. If you are wanting to get lost in a story for a little while, I highly reccomend you add this to your TBR.
