Publishers Weekly (starred review) Intricately written, gorgeously crafted, and captivating from start to finish, The Raconteur's Commonplace Book is the kind of title that remains in your heart.

Kirkus Reviews (starred review) At once a deeply satisfying standalone and a smart addition to Milford's expansive world, this elegant feat of telescopic storytelling serves as both map and key, offering singular stories of consequence that slowly, artfully reveal an immersive mystery-one that will dazzle seasoned Milford fans and kindle new ones. Kate Milford is the author of The Boneshaker, The Broken Lands, The Kairos Mechanism, Bluecrowne, and Greenglass House, which was long-listed for the National Book Award. Booklist At times wryly humorous and at others marvelously unnerving and superbly menacing, this novel delights. As Ana says, it is the story of a family-run smugglers inn called Greenglass House. The stories are purely enjoyable, playfully toying with folktale conventions, offering a compelling variety of genres, and allowing each teller's voice to clearly come through in their tale. Milford is one of those authors, like Frances Hardinge, who are criminally under-read and under-appreciated her writing is smart, lyrical, just the right amount of creepy and wholly effective. The wide-reaching world building of Milford's Nagspeake novels gets even more expansive. Kate Milford- Author Chris Henry Coffey- Narrator Series:Greenglass HousePublisher:Recorded Books, Inc.
