    Book News: Secrets & Lies by Jaishree Misra

    Posted on Saturday, June 20th, 2009 by Leah

    Jaishree Misra’s first novel, of a three-book deal with HarperCollins, Secrets & Lies, is out in 5 days on 25th June. The synopsis reads:

    You can’t run away from your past! Anita, Zeba, Bubbles and Sam have a friendship that spans 20 years - a friendship born out of their years at a private girls’ school in Delhi in the early Nineties. Beautiful, intelligent and secretive, they were the top clique; the girls that everyone wanted to impress - until the arrival of a newcomer to the school.

    15-year-old Lily D’Souza is beautiful, gifted and acerbic and instantly threatens their superiority. Now, Anita, Sam and Bubbles live in London. Bubbles is the pampered but bored wife of a billionaire, Anita is a top journalist working for the BBC, whilst Sam tries hard to be a trophy wife for her corporate lawyer husband. Zeba remained in India, and now lives a life of unimaginable luxury as the world’s reigning Bollywood queen.

    Called back to India for a reunion by their beloved school principal Mrs Lamb, the women must confront a secret that has haunted their adult lives. Lily’s body was found on the night of their school prom and, for twenty years, the open verdict has shielded the fact that they may have had a hand in her death. But as they reunite in Delhi to find out the truth about what really happened that night, will their friendship stand the strain? Or are some things better left unsaid!?

    Book News: Luxury by Jessica Ruston

    Posted on Friday, June 19th, 2009 by Leah

    jessicarustonluxuryJessica Ruston‘s debut novel Luxury is due out on 9th July and is published by Headline. It sounds as if it would be perfect for fans of Louise & Tilly Bagshawe. The synopsis reads:

    Sexy, smart New Yorker Logan Barnes knew how to take what he wanted to get where he wanted to be. But you can’t win the girl, make the money and live the high life without picking up enemies along the way…

    There’s only one enemy who matters, and that’s the friend Logan betrayed years ago – Nicolo Flores. He got mad, but better still he got even, waiting in the wings to pull the plug on Logan and see his fortunes come crashing down.

    Now Logan’s back, in London with a perfect wife, perfect family, and the perfect jewel to crown his rebuilt hotel empire: a stunning island getaway for the truly über-rich. Nicolo’s crazy to find a way to crush him again – but with gambling, addiction, sex and scandal all knocking on the Barnes’ family door, maybe they’ll destroy themselves before he even has a chance to…

    Book News: I'm So Happy For You by Lucinda Rosenfeld

    Posted on Friday, June 19th, 2009 by Leah

    lucindarosenfieldsohappyforyouLucinda Rosenfeld, author of What She Saw and Why She Went Home, has her third novel out on July 29th titled I’m So Happy For You. I love the cover and it sounds like a good read:

    What if your best friend, whom you’ve always counted on to flounder in life and love (making your own modest accomplishments look not so bad), suddenly starts to surpass you in every way?

    Wendy’s best friend, Daphne, has always been dependably prone to catastrophe. And Wendy has always been there to help. If Daphne veers from suicidal to madly in love, Wendy offers encouragement. But when Daphne is suddenly engaged, pregnant, and decorating a fabulous town house in no time at all, Wendy is…not so happy for her. Caught between wanting to be the best friend she prides herself on being and crippling jealousy of flighty Daphne, Wendy takes things to the extreme, waging a full-scale attack on her best friend-all the while wearing her best, I’m-so-happy-for-you smile-and ends up in way over her head.

    Book News: Title change, synopsis and cover for Cecelia Ahern's The Book of Tomorrow

    Posted on Friday, June 19th, 2009 by Chloe

    The Book of Tomorrow - Cecelia AhernThe title of Cecelia Ahern’s novel has been changed from The Girl of Tomorrow to The Book of Tomorrow. We’ve spotted the cover as well, and think it looks gorgeous, although there’s no confirmation this is the British cover yet as it appears on HarperCollins US site . AmazonUK have also got a synopsis for the book so here it is:

    “Tamara Goodwin has always got everything she’s ever wanted. Born into a family of wealth, she grew up in a mansion with its own private beach, a wardrobe full of designer clothes, a large four poster bed complete with a luxurious bathroom en-suite. She’s always lived in the here and now, never giving a second thought to tomorrow. But then suddenly her dad is gone and life for Tamara and her mother changes forever. Left with a mountain of debt, they have no choice but to sell everything they own and move to the country to live with Tamara’s Uncle and Aunt. Nestled next to Kilsaney Castle, their gatehouse is a world away from Tamara’s childhood. With her mother shut away with grief, and her aunt busy tending to her, Tamara is lonely and bored and longs to return to Dublin. When a travelling library passes through Kilsaney Demesne, Tamara is intrigued. She needs a distraction. Her eyes rest on a mysterious large leather bound tome locked with a gold clasp and padlock. With some help, Tamara finally manages to open the book. What she discovers within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its core. Told in Cecelia’s imitable style, The Girl of Tomorrow is a mesmerising and magical story for this autumn.”

    I think it sounds like a glorious tale, and I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. The Book of Tomorrow is due for release through HarperCollins on 1st October 2009.

    Thanks to http://bookalicious85.blogspot.com/ for the cover info.
