"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Perfect Reader
By Maggie Pouncey
Publication Date: June 15
From Amazon:
Flora Dempsey is the only child of Lewis Dempsey, beloved former college president and a famous academic in the league of Harold Bloom. On hearing the news of her father’s death, Flora hastily quits her big-city magazine job and returns to her hometown to inhabit his house. But even weightier is her appointment as her father’s literary executor; it seems he was secretly writing poems at the end of his life—love poems, to a girlfriend Flora didn’t even know he had. Suddenly besieged by well-wishers and literary bloggers alike, Flora has no choice but to figure out how to navigate it all: the fate of the poems, her relationship with the girlfriend who wants a place in her life, her memories of her parents’ divorce, and her own uncertain future.
