I think Onion Girl might be a Newford story? When I was at the bookstore I was looking through the books of his that were in stock and I got a little confused -- most of them seemed to be part of one overall 'universe' but I couldn't figure out quite where Onion Girl fit in, as far as timeline.

The reason I chose it instead of any of the others, though, was that there was a sequel sitting on the shelf next to it. I could at least tell that the two of them went together, even if I couldn't exactly tell which of the others went together (if that makes sense)... But the blurb on the back does mention Jilly being from Newford.

I'll have to look into the two you mention really liking. Thanks for the recs!
