This week I’m waiting on: Call of the Curlew by Elizabeth Brooks
Expected Publication Date: June 28th, 2018
From Goodreads:
Virginia Wrathmell has always known she will meet her death on the marsh in reparation for the mistakes of her childhood.
On New Year’s Eve, at the age of eighty-six, Virginia feels the time has finally come.
In 1939, Virginia is ten, an orphan arriving to meet her new adoptive parents, Clem and Lorna Wrathmell, at their mysterious house, Salt Winds. The house sits right on the edge of a vast marsh, a beautiful but dangerous place. It’s the start of a new life for Virginia, but she quickly senses that all is not right between Clem and Lorna – in particular, the presence of their wealthy neighbour Max Deering, who takes an unhealthy interest in the family. When a German fighter plane crashes into the marsh, Clem ventures onto the deadly sands to rescue the airman. And that is when things really begin to go wrong…
This sounds like an interesting and atmospheric dual timeline novel with plenty of mystery and a few gothic tropes. In other words, it practically has my name on it. I think this would make an excellent autumnal read, and I look forward to picking it up.
Does this sound interesting to you too? What book(s) are you waiting on this week?
