Our give-away books for July 2010 are two novels that I absolutely fell in love with. (Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be “with which I absolutely fell in love”, but when it comes to love, grammar sometimes goes by the wayside!) They are….
WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS by Christa Allan
and
THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.
Cover blurbs:
WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS: Leah Thornton’s life, like her Southern Living home, has great curb appeal. But a paralyzing encounter with a can of frozen apple juice in the supermarket shatters the facade, forcing her to admit that all is not as it appears. When her best friend gets in Leah’s face about her refusal to deal with her life, Lean is forced to make a decision. Can this brand-conscious socialite walk away from the country club into 28 days of rehab? Can she leave what she has now to gain back what she needs?
Sue’s Take: This beautifully lyrical book exudes a rare combination of humor, angst, and tough love. The true-to-life characters will totally steal your heart. (New, trade paperback format)
THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY: January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could image that she would find it in a letter from a man she’d never met, a native of Guernsey, a British island once occupied by the Nazis.
Sue’s Take: You will fall in love with Juliet and with the very special people of Guernsey who survived great loss during the Nazi occupation. Written as a series of letters, this novel is also highly lyrical. (New, hardcover bookclub edition)
