"Waiting On" Wednesday: Emily, Alone


"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:

Emily, Alone
By Stewart O'Nan
Publication Date: March 17

From Amazon:

A sequel to the bestselling, much-beloved Wish You Were Here, Stewart O'Nan's intimate new novel follows Emily Maxwell, a widow whose grown children have long moved away. She dreams of vists by her grandchildren while mourning the turnover of her quiet Pittsburgh neighborhood, but when her sole companion and sister-in-law Arlene faints at their favorite breakfast buffet, Emily's days change. As she grapples with her new independence, she discovers a hidden strength and realizes that life always offers new possibilities.

What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    this sounds like a great read. It's funny how just one incident, one moment can have such a powerful effect on a person. Hope you enjoy it when you get your copy.

    The cover of this book looks so cute. I've never heard of Wish You Were Here- I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
