Welcome to another week of eager anticipation. It’s time to head on over to Breaking the Spine to see what everyone is sharing.
My featured book is coming on June 24, 2014: The Matchmaker, by Elin Hilderbrand.
Here’s why I want to read this one:
A touching new novel from Elin Hilderbrand in which a dying woman sets out to find love for those closest to her – before it’s too late
Dabney Kimball Beech, the 48-year-old fifth generation Nantucketer, has had a lifelong gift of matchmaking (52 couples still together to her credit). But when Dabney discovers she is dying of pancreatic cancer, she sets out to find matches for a few people very close to home: her husband, celebrated economist John Boxmiller Beech; her lover journalist Clendenin Hughes; and her daughter, Agnes, who is engaged to be married to the wrong man.
As time slips away from Dabney, she is determined to find matches for those she loves most – but at what cost to her own relationships? THE MATCHMAKER is the heartbreaking new novel from Elin Hilderbrand about losing and finding love, even as you’re running out of time.
