Waiting on Wednesday: The Lovers by Vendela Vida
Jill at Breaking the Spine hosts Waiting on Wednesday each week to encourage book bloggers to spotlight an eagerly anticipated upcoming release.
"Vendela Vida's The Lovers is a spare and haunting meditation on how travel can bring us full circle back to the place from which we should have started. I read it over two days and dreamed about it the second night." (Francine Prose, author of Goldengrove )My love of travel is built right into my blogging name along with my love of reading. I cannot wait to read this novel.
Vendela Vida writes with elegance and economy. In this engrossing novel, she has managed to combine a stingingly acute portrait of grief, a moving meditation on love (both filial and romantic) and a page-turning adventure. (Zoe Heller, author of The Believers)
The Lovers will be published June 22, 2010 by Ecco, but you can pre-order it now.
That cover is really beautiful!
