Welcome to another bookish event in which we celebrate upcoming reads we’re eagerly anticipating. Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill, at Breaking the Spine.
I’m excited about a book that depicts family connections that spans generations. The Sisters, by Nancy Jensen, will be released on 11/8/11.
“You’ll be drawn into the arms of The Sisters as if these women were your own family. You’ll want to hold them, warn them, betray their secrets. But this is a novel, one that is fresh and vibrant and complex. You cannot live the sisters’ lives, but only share in their joy and heartbreak and ultimate triumph. A remarkably powerful book.”
—Sandra Dallas, author of Prayers for Sale“Nancy Jensen has the natural story-teller’s ability to command attention, but with sophisticated psychological understanding and beautifully crafted writing. The Sisters is a needed novel that will become a very popular classic.”
—Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahab’s Wife“A beautiful and touching novel about the events and choices that shape not only our lives but the lives of generations to come. Nancy Jensen takes us on an epic yet intimate journey through eighty years, ultimately revealing the flawed but lovely landscape that makes up a family. Her characters will stay with us long after the book’s final pages.”
—Brunonia Barry, author of The Lace Reader

This sounds like one I’d read and pass on to all my friends (many don’t read young adult, which is my main genre at the moment). Great pick!

I hadn’t seen this book before, either –it’s got a great cover, and those blurbs from early readers catch my interest.

Yes, I like reading the blurbs….the story is a bit of a mystery to me, since I only stumbled upon it…but I’m excited to learn more. Thanks for visiting, Dawn.

I’m really drawn to the cover of this one. I’m a flea market junkie, so I collect dishes– or I did when I had room! Lol…this is a new, fresh choice. Never heard of it before.

Oh, I can relate to that collecting bug…I’ve downsized, so I have to be more careful, now, but I peruse flea market magazines like they’re “eye candy.”

This sounds good, but you know something weird, I cannot read books about sisters. I always wanted a sister and never had one, so to me it feels like I would not be able to relate or enjoy these kinds of stories.
Hope u like this one Laurel.

I had cousins who were like sisters, so I relate in that way. I do have one sister, but I was almost out of the house by the time she was five years old!
