Gabby and Elliott have been happily married for 18 years. They have two teenage daughters; they have built a life together.

And why does she ever even look at the handsome guy—10 years younger—at the other end of the bar one night?  Gabby is the last person to have an affair—a physical one, at least. But Matt makes her feel sparkling, fascinating—something she hasn't felt in years. Surely there's no harm in continuing a long-distance friendship? Surely there's no harm in an emotional affair  As Gabby steps ever deeper into the allure of attraction and attention things turn perilous. If she makes one wrong move, she could lose everything—and find out what really matters most.

"Waiting On" Wednesday: Cambridge

"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:

Cambridge
By Susanna Kaysen

Publication Date: March 18

From Amazon:

From the best-selling author of Girl, Interrupted, a novel-from-life by turns funny and sad: the story of a girl growing up in the 1950s among the academics and artists of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and her tangled attempts to understand herself, her family, and her place in the world.

Uprooted from the familiar, beloved streets around Harvard Square, the precocious young narrator Susanna feels lost when her family moves across the Atlantic for a sabbatical abroad. After a year in London and then Italy, she comes home with relief, a little wiser. Then Vishwa, a brilliant orchestra conductor, enters the family orbit and shows Susanna new ways of thinking not only about music-her mother's passion-but also about the power of love and of art. Later still, after another family sojourn overseas, this time in Greece, she returns to Cambridge with a sense of restless otherness, feeling herself an outsider wherever she is. Immediate and subtle, written with a fiercely sharp eye, Cambridge captures the fears and wonders of childhood, the mores of an era now past, the ordinary lives of extraordinary people in a singular part of America, and the ways we can-and cannot-go home.

Chloe, bright, hip and single, is a feature writer with ambitions to launch a magazine of her own. When she meets James, her potential new boss, she knows she shouldn't mix business with pleasure, but finds it impossible to resist.

 

Maggie appears to have it all.  She's beautiful, a talented writer, and has a gorgeous husband. But something's not quite right: his job as a magazine publisher is keeping him in the city until late most evenings, and some nights he doesn't come home at all...

 

Told in the alternating voices of the mistress and the wife, this story of an affair is a sharp, seductive take on modern love.

 

Who, if anyone, comes out unscathed?

The Deepest Secret

By Carla Buckley
Publication Date: February 4

Eve Lattimore’s family is like every other on their suburban street, with one exception. Her son Tyler has a rare medical condition that makes him fatally sensitive to light, which means heavy curtains and deadlocked doors protect him during the day and he can never leave the house except at night. For Eve, only constant vigilance stands between an increasingly restless teenage son and the dangers of the outside world.
 
Until the night the unthinkable happens. When tragedy strikes, it becomes clear that this family is not the only one on the quiet cul-de-sac that is more complicated than it appears. And as Eve is forced to shield her family from harm, there are some crises she cannot control—and some secrets that not even love can conceal.

Sycamore Row

By John Grisham
Publication Date: October 22

From Amazon:

John Grisham's A Time to Kill is one of the most popular novels of our time. Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial-a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history.

Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier.''
