"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 Uncoupling
Publication Date: April 5
From Amazon:
When the elliptical new drama teacher at Stellar Plains High School chooses for the school play Lysistrata--the comedy by Aristophanes in which women stop having sex with men in order to end a war--a strange spell seems to be cast over the school. Or, at least, over the women. One by one throughout the high school community, perfectly healthy, normal women and teenage girls turn away from their husbands and boyfriends in the bedroom, for reasons they don't really understand. As the women worry over their loss of passion, and the men become by turns unhappy, offended, and above all, confused, both sides are forced to look at their shared history, and at their sexual selves in a new light.

This books sounds great. I remember reading Lysistrata for my drama class in college. We even acted out scenes from the play. I cannot wait to see how the play's interpretation in The Uncoupling. It's going on the Wish List.

Jill that sounds scarier than the Stepford Wives, cannot imagine it happening in real life it would be too bizarre!

I love that cover, but not sure I like the premise. I don't think many high schools can get permission to do Lysistrata.
Great pick this week! :)
