Whether you're looking for something magical as in The House at the End of Hope Street or fun nonfiction as in Gulp, we've got it covered in this issue of The BookBrowse Review. If travel is your thing how about transport to Vietnam in Vincent Lam's The Headmaster's Wager or a look at the travel industry in Elizabeth Becker's Overbooked. We've got action with Dennis Lehane, quirk with Jack Gantos and even a memoir by the Ghanian President. Happy reading!
