Book News: Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin
Posted on Friday, August 14th, 2009 by LeahA realese date and synopsis have been released for Emily Giffin’s next novel Heart of the Matter. It’s due for release on 22nd July 2010 and sounds fabulous:
As the wife of a leading paediatric plastic surgeon, Tessa Russo can’t help but contemplate how fragile life can be. How one moment you can be going about an ordinary day, and the next, everything you once took for granted can be snatched from you. Tessa knows how lucky she is, still madly in love with her husband after seven years, with two beautiful children. Yet beneath the perfect facade, the cracks are beginning to show…
Valerie Anderson takes nothing for granted. But with one phone call, her world is turned upside down forever. As a single mother, she was always protective of her son Charlie, and will live to regret how one seemingly insignificant decision leads to a terrible accident - one that will leave Charlie forever scarred.
It is only when Nick Russo, Charlie’s surgeon, enters their lives, that Valerie finally dares to hope again. As the lives of two very different women dramatically intersect, they are forced to question everything they hold dear, and face a future that neither one had ever envisaged.

There’s another Irish author on the block! Tara Moore’s debut novel RSVP is due out through publishers Orion in January 2010, and sounds fantastic! It’s a real blockbuster of a book along the veins of the Bagshawe sisters, Lulu Taylor and Rebecca Chance, and is sure to be a hit. Here’s the synopsis:
