Just at the point when I realise I simply cannot add another thing to my blogging commitments along comes a cover reveal for an author I know and really like personally and whose writing I adore, Tracey Scott-Townsend. Add in the fact the reveal is being co-ordinated by friend Kelly at Love Books Group and I can’t resist. Consequently, here I am sharing the cover and details of Tracey’s brand new book, The Eliza Doll.

Tracey was last here on Linda’s Book Bag as we stayed in to chat about The Vagabond Mother in a post you’ll find here. Tracy also stayed in with me to tell me about another of her books, Another Rebecca, in a post you can read here. I have also had the pleasure of reviewing some of Tracey’s poetry in her anthology So Fast and you can read that review here.

Let’s see what Tracey has in store for us this time.

The Eliza Doll

Ellie lives in a campervan with her dog, Jack, selling her handmade dolls at craft fairs. There is one doll that she can’t bear to finish until she comes to terms with the truth of what has happened.

The Eliza Doll is an uncompromising family drama about upheaval, off-grid living and living on the dole in 1980s England.

Set in East Yorkshire and Iceland from the eighties to the present.

The Eliza Doll is available for purchase here.

Knowing what I do about Tracey’s writing I’m sure The Eliza Doll will be a fabulous read.
