"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:
Astonish Me
By Maggie Shipstead
Publication Date: April 8
From Amazon:
Astonish Me is the irresistible story of Joan, a ballerina whose life has been shaped by her relationship with the world-famous dancer Arslan Ruskov, whom she helps defect from the Soviet Union to the United States. While Arslan's career takes off in New York, Joan's slowly declines, ending when she becomes pregnant and decides to marry her longtime admirer, a PhD student named Jacob. As the years pass, Joan settles into her new life in California, teaching dance and watching her son, Harry, become a ballet prodigy himself. But when Harry's success brings him into close contact with Arslan, explosive secrets are revealed that shatter the delicate balance Joan has struck between her past and present.

I really want to read books about Russia! Ever since falling in love with the animated movie Anastasia, I have been craving books from that area. I'm not sure if this will satisfy that craving, but it does seem interesting.
ReplyDeleteWow, Astonish Me sounds great! I've always been interested in the world of ballet and those who dance, so this sounds right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteOh I hadn't seen Astonish Me before! It looks intriguing... Is it literary fiction? :)
ReplyDeleteMy first time =)
ReplyDeleteNice idea.
This looks awesome! Love ballet books. My WoW is about pink covers--funny coincidence.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick!
ReplyDeleteThe blurb sounds interesting...I've never read anything related to dancing or ballerina..think I may give it a try..
