"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. What are you anxiously waiting for?
I've been thinking about this book lately:
(October 18, 2010 - W.W. Norton Co.)
(amazon)... An electrifying novel about disputed territory, sibling love, and devastating revenge from the celebrated author of The Road Home and Restoration. In a silent valley in southern France stands an isolated stone farmhouse, the Mas Lunel. Aramon, the owner, is so haunted by his violent past that he's become incapable of all meaningful action, letting his hunting dogs starve and his land go to ruin. Meanwhile, his sister Audrun, alone in her modern bungalow within sight of the Mas Lunel, dreams of exacting retribution for the unspoken betrayals that have blighted her life. Into this closed world comes Anthony Verey, a wealthy but disillusioned antiques dealer from London. When he sets his sights on the Mas, a frightening and unstoppable series of consequences is set in motion.
I brought this one home from the library last week. Haven't read it but looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI've got a copy and hope to read it next week. I haven't really got high hopes though - most people seem to be a bit disappointed with it.
ReplyDeleteSounds intense. I'll watch for reviews.
ReplyDeleteNo WoW pick for me this week.
This sounds really compelling...I love stories about past issues and betrayal. Hope you enjoy it.

This sounds good! Rose Tremain is an author I want to read... have seen so many great reviews of her books.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I had no idea Rose Tremaine has a new book coming out! It's going on my wish list too!
ReplyDeleteI think I have a copy of another novel by Rose Tremain on my shelf. I think it's called Music and Silence. This one sounds good too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize this author had a new one coming out. This one's going on the list!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about this one but i'll check it out. Maybe it can find a spot in my tbr pile.
ReplyDeleteI have a hold on this at the library, and am looking forward to reading it. Like the above commenter, I've heard that most people have been disappointed with it, but since it's been longlisted for the Booker prize, I figure some people had to really like it. I can't wait to see where I fall.
ReplyDeleteWow, this sounds amazing! Fabulous pick! My WOW is at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteSounds like quite a riveting read!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by all the blogs I follow – have been out of town and am feeling out of touch. Thought I would check in with everyone! Stop by The Wormhole if you get a chance!
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds very creepy. I'm going to see if my library carries it.
ReplyDeleteI want this one too! Tremain is one of my favorite authors!
ReplyDeleteI ordered this one from the UK as part of my Booker longlist reading. I'm looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a scary-exciting read.
