"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:
The Widower's Tale 
By Julia Glass
Publication Date: September 7
From Amazon:
In a quirky farmhouse outside Boston, seventy-year-old Percy Darling enjoys a vigorous but mostly solitary life—until, in a complex scheme to help his oldest daughter through a crisis, he allows a progressive preschool to move into his barn. The abrupt transformation of Percy’s rural refuge into a lively, youthful community compels him to reexamine the choices he’s made since his wife’s death, three decades ago, in a senseless accident that haunts him still. No longer can he remain aloof from his neighbors, his two grown daughters, or, to his shock, the precarious joy of falling in love.

Hi, just found your blog through the blog hop. I love the idea of "Waiting on" Wednesday and hope to participate next week. How are you liking Brunonia Barry's new book? I loved The Lace Reader, but haven't read the 2nd one yet. My bookstore is having our 2nd event with her next Monday, and I'm excited to meet her.
Sounds cool!
