Coming Soon To A Bookstore Near You! And A Giveaway!


In April I read and reviewed Peter Geye's debut novel Safe From The Sea (my review here). At that time I said:
"I thought perhaps if I waited some time after finishing this book to write this review, I could be more objective. I thought wrong. Weeks after finishing this book, the first word that pops into my mind to describe this book is "brilliant.""
Five months later, I still stand by that assessment. So I'm happy to be able to tell you that if you haven't already read it, on September 6th Unbridled Books will be releasing Safe From The Sea in trade paperback. And if you haven't already read it, run, do not walk, to your local bookstore.  Because this is what happened to me when I read this book:
"I rarely cry when reading a book; I can't remember the last book that brought me to tears. This one did...twice. That despite my knowing well before the book was done what was going to happen."
To celebrate the book's paperback release, Unbridled is letting me giveaway a hardcover copy of the book to one lucky reader. To enter, just leave a comment with a way to contact you. Winner will be drawn on September 6th; U.S. residents only.

    I remember your post about this one and writing down the title. Sounds like its such a depressing book - perfect for winter! I'm definitely interested in throwing my name into the hat for the giveaway. Thanks, Lisa!
