Book Review: The Way We Were by Elizabeth Noble

Posted on Friday, May 7th, 2010 by Chloe

Susannah and Rob were childhood sweethearts. But as with most early love affairs, they broke up, moved on and now find themselves in very different places. And not entirely happy - who is? A chance meeting between them sends shockwaves through their lives. What happens when your first love makes a surprise reappearance? Is fate telling you it’s time for a second chance . . . or should you simply walk away and let the past become ancient history? But Susannah and Rob just aren’t able to forget the way they were . . . and the world is about to realize the consequences of their reunion.

Book News: One Kiss in Havana by Michelle Jackson

Posted on Friday, May 7th, 2010 by Chloe

Michelle Jackson, author of the fabulous Three Nights in New York, has her third book out this summer called One Kiss in Havana. Michelle posted the gorgeous cover to her Facebook page this week and I think it’s lovely, really summery looking and it’d definitely make me want to pick up the book! It’s due out on June 26th, and here’s the synopsis:

“Emma, Louise and Sophie are sisters. Talented, artistic and creative, they have a lot in common – especially when it comes to men.

When Emma receives two tickets to Cuba in the post from her late husband she is more than surprised. She decides to take her sister Sophie along – not realizing this was his exact intention.

Louise hankers for lost love – Jack Duggan. She trudges through her suburban life with husband Donal while her sister’s soak up the Caribbean sunshine. But a chance encounter with the love from her past means that she will have plenty to deal with back in Dublin.

Meanwhile, in Cuba, Emma meets Che Guevara lookalike Felipe and Sophie meets Greg – a Canadian art dealer. Set against the backdrop of Salsa music, rum cocktails and balmy tropical nights –the girls have no idea what One Kiss in Havana will lead to…”

Michelle is also part of a project called “What Women Know”, a book combining advice from women for women, and is working on it with her fellow author, Juliet Bressan. They are after opinions on everything from women, so if you think you have something to offer, you can join their Facebook page, or visit their blog.

Book News: After You by Julie Buxbaum

Posted on Friday, May 7th, 2010 by Leah

I’ve heard lots about Julie Buxbaum - so much so that I have her debut novel sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. Her second book After You is due out on August 19th and I’ll definitely be picking myself up a copy as I love the sound of it. I also love the simpleness of the cover. Here’s the synopsis:

On a random Thursday afternoon, Ellie Lerner’s life is turned upside when she learns the heartbreaking news that Lucy, her best friend since childhood, has been murdered on the tree-lined streets of Notting Hill. And, as best friends do, Ellie drops everything - her marriage, her job, her life in the Boston suburbs - to travel to London to pick up the pieces. While Lucy’s shell-shocked husband, Greg, seeks solace in work and the pub, her brilliant and traumatized child, Sophie, has simply stopped speaking. Desperate to help Sophie, Ellie turns to a book that gave her comfort as a child, The Secret Garden. As the two spend hours exploring the novel’s winding passageways, its story of hurt, magic, and healing blooms around them. But so, too, do the secrets Lucy kept hidden, even from her best friend. Over a summer in London, as Ellie peels back the layers of her friend’s life, she’s forced to confront her own as well. Suddenly her carefully constructed existence spins out of control in a chain of events that will transform her life o and the lives of those around her - forever.
