This week's anticipated book:
Publisher: Crown Publishing Group
Publication date: March 4, 2014
Preorder from online and books and mortar bookstores
From barnesandnoble.com: This mesmerizing coming-of-age
novel, with its sheen of near-magical realism, is a moving tale of
family and the power of stories.
After their mother's probable suicide, sisters Olivia and Jazz take
steps to move on with their lives. Jazz, logical and forward-thinking,
decides to get a new job, but spirited, strong-willed Olivia—who can see
sounds, taste words, and smell sights—is determined to travel to the
remote setting of their mother's unfinished novel to lay her spirit
properly to rest.
Already resentful of Olivia’s foolish quest and her family’s
insistence upon her involvement, Jazz is further aggravated when they
run into trouble along the way and Olivia latches on to a worldly
train-hopper who warns he shouldn’t be trusted. As they near their
destination, the tension builds between the two sisters, each hiding
something from the other, until they are finally forced to face
everything between them and decide what is really important.
Which book are you waiting for?
