Well, we are down to the wire this week with only three books left in the Fall Fab Book Promo on MaNiC MoMMy! I want to thank all of you for sticking around for so long! Today’s book is a historical fiction romance/love story and was shortlisted for the 2010 Orange Prize for Fiction, which is a Very Big Deal in the world of books!
I’m very pleased to bring you …
England, 31st August 1939: The world is on the brink of war. As Hitler prepares to invade Poland, thousands of children are evacuated from London to escape the impending Blitz. Torn from her mother, eight-year-old Anna Sands is relocated with other children to a large Yorkshire estate which has been opened up to evacuees by Thomas and Elizabeth Ashton, an enigmatic, childless couple. Soon Anna gets drawn into their unraveling relationship, seeing things that are not meant for her eyes and finding herself part-witness and part-accomplice to a love affair with unforeseen consequences. A story of longing, loss, and complicated loyalties, combining a sweeping narrative with subtle psychological observation, The Very Thought of You is not just a love story but a story about love.
In order to qualify to win this book, tell me if you’re a fan of historical fiction and share some of your favorites here. I’m thinking back to Wally Lamb’s second novel, I Know This Much is True, and for some reason I’m thinking that the second part of it is historical fiction? I just remember being spellbound by that book of his as well as his first. And I know A Tree Grows in Brooklyn isn’t really considered ‘historical fiction’ but that was a book from another era that always stuck with me. To me, historical fiction is from another time, another place. Is that what it means to you? Anyway, great writing is great writing and if we’re lucky enough to find that in a book, then it’s awesome! I hope you’ve found some here during this Fall promo, and I’ve got two more books to share with you before the HUGE GRAND PRIZE where ONE OF YOU will win 20+ books! Stay tuned ….

If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment and I'll answer it in the thread, or email me at stephanieelliot@gmail.com. It is always at my discretion to change things up, and because of some regulations, I guess I must say that the books I review are given to me by either the authors or publishers or publicists, and I am never paid for my reviews, and they are my own personal reviews, and you know what, because I'm here telling you this anyway, I will also tell you that I never review a book I don't like, because you know what, why waste my time, life is too short to read a crappy book! There.
