About Ariella

What Ariella is looking for
On the fiction side, she is interested in historical fiction that reflects the world today or has an intriguing concept, in epic tales, in love story elements, and in book club novels that explore big issues or secrets. On the non-fiction side, she is interested in expert-led ideas and in books with ground-breaking or unusual historical insights. Where speculative or magical elements appear, she prefers them grounded, rather than sci-fi, romantasy or dystopian novels.
