This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Fin and Lady
By Cathleen Schine
Publication Date: July 9
From Amazon:
It’s 1964. Eleven-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly, older half sister, Lady, have just been orphaned, and Lady, whom Fin hasn’t seen in six years, is now his legal guardian and his only hope. That means Fin is uprooted from a small dairy farm in rural Connecticut to Greenwich Village, smack in the middle of the swinging ’60s. He soon learns that Lady—giddy, careless, urgent, and obsessed with being free—is as much his responsibility as he is hers. Fin and Lady lead their lives against the background of the ’60s, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War—Lady pursued by ardent, dogged suitors, Fin determined to protect his impulsive sister from them and from herself.

Hey I loved your idea of 'Waiting on Wednesday' so much that started it on my blog too. I filled out the entry but not sure whether it was registered or not (with the same name as here)...please let me know if it's not..thanks:)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this book, but it definitely looks interesting. This may sound odd, but I think I'd be racing to this book faster if it wasn't set in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun. I'll have to make sure the library where I work is getting a copy. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI do love books that use the actual history or time period as a big part of the story. Sounds great!
ReplyDeletei adore the cover!
