This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
World and Town
By Gish JenPublication Date: October 5
From Amazon:
Hattie Kong—the spirited offspring of a descendant of Confucius and an American missionary to China—has, in her fiftieth year of living in the United States, lost both her husband and her best friend to cancer. But now, two years later, it is time for Hattie to start over. What Hattie makes of this situation is at the center of a novel that asks deep and absorbing questions about religion, home, America, what neighbors are, what love is, and, in the largest sense, what “worlds” we make of the world.

World and Town has a lovely cover! How sad to have lost both her husband and best friend to cancer. This sounds like a book that requires tissues. Hope Hattie's fresh start turns out to be filled with hope and happiness.

By the way, I just posted my review of Backseat Saints by Joshilyn Jackson and I think it is one that you'd really like. Southern Fiction at it's best!
Hmmm... This genre is not exactly my cup of tea but it sounds interesting. Time for me to venture out of my comfort zone. :)
