Looking For

Eugenie Furniss is drawn to transporting fiction with seductive narrative voices, particularly crime fiction in all its guises and historical fiction, as well as anything seriously funny, uplifting, or with an edge. High on her wish list are a crime series told from an unusual perspective and literary fiction in the vein of Rose Tremain. On the non-fiction side, she is an avid reader of biography, popular history, and politics, with a particular love for political, financial, or social scandals, as well as memoir and biography that introduces readers to unfamiliar worlds, whether historical or contemporary. She values honesty, independent thought, and writers whose ideas challenge prevailing wisdoms.
