This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
Stella Bain
By Anita Shreve
Publication Date: November 12
From Amazon:
When an American woman, Stella Bain, is found suffering from severe shell shock in an exclusive garden in London, surgeon August Bridge and his wife selflessly agree to take her in.
A gesture of goodwill turns into something more as Bridge quickly develops a clinical interest in his houseguest. Stella had been working as a nurse's aide near the front, but she can't remember anything prior to four months earlier when she was found wounded on a French battlefield.
In a narrative that takes us from London to America and back again, Shreve has created an engrossing and wrenching tale about love and the meaning of memory, set against the haunting backdrop of a war that destroyed an entire generation.

I was just eyeballing this today. I am looking forward to reading it too and will be featuring it soon.
I don't usually feel any interest in books that have something to do with wars, but this one actually sounds interesting.

I've heard a lot about Anita Shreve and have never had the time to read one of her novels. This one sounds great though!
This sounds really good. I'm not usually into post-war stories, but this sounds like it has really interesting characters. Thank you for sharing!

I saw this one and while I love Shreve, I prefer a more contemporary setting. (Same goes for Bohjalian and his new book).
Oooh, I didn't know Shreve has a new book coming out!
Oh sorry! I think I accidentally left my link twice
It's not quite my cup of tea, but it still sounds fascinating. Enjoy!
I really enjoy Anita Shreve's book usually and this one sounds intriguing. ~Sheri

Sounds like an excellent historical novel with an iteresting story line. I'd wait for this one!

Here is my Wow! http://whitsbookworld.blogspot.com/2013/07/waiting-on-wednesday.html
That sounds good. I just read Letters from Skye and A Light in the Ruins has been on my radar, so I seem to be gravitating towards that timeframe lately. Thanks for the share.
