Throwback Thursday is hosted by Renee of It’s Book Talk. This meme was created to share old favorites and/or books published over a year ago. Today I’m going to be sharing The House on Primrose Pond by Yona Zeldis McDonough.
Why I chose this book:
Yona Zeldis McDonough was a new-to-me author. I won her book, and when I received it I began reading, not knowing what to expect, and was immediately immersed in the story. It was so interesting that I couldn’t put it down. There were very emotional parts that brought me to tears. It was my favorite read of 2016. See my review here.
I was so elated that I contacted the author to let her know how much I enjoyed reading her book. She was very kind, and since then I’ve purchased another book she’s written. Unfortunately, it’s gotten lost in my TBR pile….
… but I have every intention of reading it once my review commitments are over. If you like contemporary fiction with a little historical fiction included (the protagonist in the book is a novelist), you will probably really enjoy this book. I highly recommend it.
Have you ever heard of or read any of Yona Zeldis McDonough’s books? Please share your thoughts if you’re so inclined.
Happy Reading!!

I did see this book around when it came out but didn’t read it, however seen as it was your fav of 2016 I am about to hop over and read your review and most likely add it to my list. Yes I know so many books get lost in our TBR pile. Laurie thanks for your comment on the Novak book. I know what you mean about being “too hot” for your taste. I can’t remember if it was so or not!!! I generally skip those bits anyway.

Hi Kathryn. I really did enjoy Primrose Pond.
As for Novak’s books, I’ve definitely had to skip parts too.
Thanks for stopping by. ( :

I like the sound of this one…and the author’s name is familiar to me, but I had to search her Amazon Author’s page to find the connection. I read one of her less-known books (I’m guessing) called All the Available Light (a Marilyn Monroe Reader).
Thanks for sharing!
