This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Lullaby of Polish Girls
Publication Date: June 4
From Amazon:
Because of her father’s role in the Solidarity movement, Anna and her parents immigrate to the United States in the 1980s as political refugees from Poland. They settle in Brooklyn among immigrants of every stripe, yet Anna never quite feels that she belongs. But then, the summer she turns twelve, she is sent back to Poland to visit her grandmother, and suddenly she experiences the shock of recognition. In her family’s hometown of Kielce, Anna develops intense friendships with two local girls—brash and beautiful Justyna and desperately awkward Kamila—and their bond is renewed every summer when Anna returns. The Lullaby of Polish Girls follows these three best friends from their early teenage years on the lookout for boys in Kielce—a town so rough its citizens are called “the switchblades”—to the loss of innocence that wrecks them, and the stunning murder that reaches across oceans to bring them back together after they’ve grown and long since left home.

Just saw on twitter about your loss! My condolences to you and your family.
Wow that sounds like it could be a wonderful and powerful read! I am always amazed how you find books for your WoW posts that I've never even heard of, awesome! :)
Great pick - I like the multi-cultural aspect of it, and I love the 80s!
Come check out my WoW!
Sounds like a good book, with an excellent story (kind of goes hand in hand, right?).
Hope you get it! :)
Interesting pick. I'm 1/8th Polish, so this piques my interest. :) My WOW's are for Replacing Gentry and Once Upon a Prince.
Wow, the cover is stunning, sort of want her straightener haha

By just looking at the cover, this is a book that I would probably pass over, but after reading the synopsis it is something that I would want to read. It wouldn't be a the top of my list, but it's definitely worth checking out. Thanks for sharing. And as always, thanks for hosting.
I have this one on my kindle, it looks great :) Here's mine for this week: http://allodoxophobia.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/waiting-on-wednesday-star-cursed-by-jessica-spotswood/

I haven't heard of this one but it sounds like an interesting read!
Here is my WoW!
I was just passing through and read your pick for this week's WoW when I noticed the author's name. She's an actress, I first saw her as the lead female in the movie version of The Count of Monte Cristo, she played Henry Cavil's character's mother. I thought she was gorgeous in that movie!
Anyway, now I'll be giving this book a second look.
I always love to WoWs! and I always find a good new read! :)
This sounds pretty good! I love stories that feature strong female friendships. =)
I love the 80s setting....this one sounds good. Missed you last week. Hope things are OK.
Looks like a good one!
