Praise for HOW THE PENGUINS SAVED VERONICA
"[A] light, fun story...this adorable tale will put a smile on your
face."—Good Housekeeping
"This feel-good novel features a prim, rather stubborn 86-year-old
British heroine named Veronica McCreedy, who will steal your
heart....A fun read that brings to mind Maria Semple's 2012 best
seller, Where'd You Go, Bernadette? — because of its humor as well
as its fleeing-to-Antarctica theme — and a heartwarming tonic for
troubled times."—AARP
“A warm and witty journey of self-discovery. Prior proves that it’s
never too late to become the person you were meant to be. But it
might require a trip to Antarctica. And penguins.”—Wendy Wax, USA
Today bestselling author of My Ex-Best Friend’s Wedding
"Veronica McCreedy is an unforgettable heroine. Crotchety, clever
and oddly lovable, she kept me turning pages well into the night.
Prior has given us a story of love, loss, forgiveness, and the
unlikely bonds that form when we least expect it. Humorous and true
with finely-drawn characters."—Elyssa Friedland, author of The
Floating Feldmans
"A beautiful expedition into Antarctica, but more importantly, the
human heart. Hazel Prior has written a sweet and timely story about
how one cranky old woman is no match for a tiny, adorable penguin
chick."—Brooke Fossey, author of The Big Finish
Praise for Ellie and the Harpmaker
"Uplifting escapism...fresh and sweet...Prior's lyricism feels like
a warm song."--The Washington Post
"How I loved this book! An uncommonly lovely story told with
elegance, insight, and so much heart. Hazel Prior's brilliant debut
will delight."--Kristan Higgins, New York
Times bestselling author of Life and Other
Inconveniences
"A beautiful love song of a story, wonderfully told with a warm
heart and much hope. Hazel Prior's writing is a lyrical
delight."--Phaedra Patrick, international bestselling author
of The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper
"Ellie and Dan, both delightful, down-to-earth characters,
selflessly put each other's needs ahead of their own, and fans of
fast-paced romantic stories will enjoy watching them discover true
happiness together."--Publishers Weekly
"With the character-driven charm of Liane Moriarty's and Sara
Baume's novels.... Delightfully heartwarming....Guaranteed to tug
at readers' heartstrings."--Booklist
