Small Wars by Sadie Jones came from Harper Perennial thanks to Trish from TLC Book Tours.
A seemingly peaceful posting to Cyprus turns that erupts into war, this story of the personal changes that brings about in Hal, a major in the British Army, and his wife Clara sounds like a captivating look at war, morality, and the ways in which they erode the people involved in them.
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakthrough by Ruth Pennebaker came from the author thanks to Trish from TLC Book Tours.
Stories about three generations of women always catch my interest and this tale of family and the sandwich generation looks like it will be good for more than a few giggles.

Those both look good, and the second one is completely new to me.
ReplyDeleteI think both books sound good - I'll watch for your reviews.
ReplyDeleteOhhh - Women on the Verge looks really good. My Mom, Grandmother and I frequently get together and visit, so I would love to hear about another set of 3 generations getting together. ;)
