This week's anticipated book:
Publisher: Little, Brown & Company
Publication date: November 12, 2013
From barnesandnoble.com: Stella Bain has no memory of her
past when she wakes up in a hospital bed in Marne, France. It is 1916,
and she wears the uniform of a British war nurse but speaks with an
American accent. As soon as she is able, Stella sets out for London,
where she hopes to find answers. What she discovers-with the help of Dr.
August Bridge, who takes an interest in her case-both shocks and
startles. As Stella's memories come racing back, she must undertake a
journey across the ocean to confront the haunted past of the woman she
used to be.
In this gripping historical drama
that transports us from Europe to America and back again, Anita Shreve
weaves an engrossing tale about love and memory, set against the
backdrop of a war that devastated an entire generation.
My thoughts: Anita Shreve is a master storyteller, and I am looking forward to the publication of this, her 17th novel. I first discovered the author's writing many years ago when The Pilot's Wife was chosen as an Oprah Book Club selection. I am intrigued by the plot description of Stella Bain, especially since I enjoy novels set in England around the time of the first world war.
Enjoy life with books . . .
