‘Cover The Butter’ by Carrie Kabak
Carrie Kabak is an Irish and British citizen living in Kansas City, Missouri, who has just had her novel Cover the Butter launched in paperback here in the US.
Cover the Butter was published in the USA, Holland and Poland, and was recently published in the UK and Ireland in hardback, and the newly launched paperback edition is now in stores in the USA.
Cover the Butter is a Book Sense Bestseller, won an Audiofile Magazine award and was nominated for a Quills Award. Reading Matters of London said, as well as many other nice things:
Set in England, Wales, Ireland and France, the novel is filled with a layer of psychological questions and issues that keep the reader engaged. Kabak gives the reader plenty of evidence as to how religious programming, sexual repression, childhood guilt and shame and the uphill battle to gain approval from parents condition adult life-choices
You already know that those are some of my favourite subjects, and I already know that you like Maeve Binchy. Some more from Reading Matters of London:
Cover the Butter reads like the book that Maeve Binchy and Joanne Harris might have collaborated on: friendships, family, romance, food and travel all rolled into one. I loved it, and felt genuinely sad when the story came to an end. I had wanted it to go on forever
Check out Carrie’s website for details of many great reviews, for excerpts from the novel, for information on reading clubs, and of course to visit Carrie’s Blog. But really, you probably know enough already to go ahead and buy Cover the Butter, because you know what you like.
