Hachette Book Group is sponsoring another book giveaway this week!
The book? A new novel from Joanna Scott entitled Follow Me.
The giveaway? Five copies!
From the publisher:
On a summer day in 1946 Sally Werner, the precocious young daughter of hardscrabble Pennsylvania farmers, secretly accepts her cousin’s invitation to ride his new motorcycle. Like so much of what follows in Sally’s life, it’s an impulsive decision with dramatic and far-reaching consequences. Soon she abandons her home to begin a daring journey of self-creation, the truth of which she entrusts only with her granddaughter and namesake, six decades later. But when young Sally’s father — a man she has never known — enters her life and offers another story altogether, she must uncover the truth of her grandmother’s secret history.
Boldly rendered and beautifully told, in Follow Me Joanna Scott has crafted a paean to the American tradition of re-invention and a sweeping saga of timeless and tender storytelling.
From me:
Confession: I haven’t had a chance to read this one yet.
[Another confession: I had to look up the word paean.]
So I can’t share my thoughts or opinions on this novel. Sorry. However, I can direct you to OpenBook, where you can read an excerpt from Follow Me and see if it appeals to you.
I can also send you over to Amazon.com where you can see what others are saying about the book.
Interested? If you’d like to win one of the five copies Hachette Book Group is offering to my readers, just leave a comment on this post. I’ll draw the winners next Wednesday (6/10) and announce them with my weekly book giveaway on June 11th. U.S. and Canadian mailing addresses only, please.
