Waiting on Wednesday (Nov 18)

November 18, 2009 by Darlene


Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week my pic is Roses by Leila Meacham to be released by Grand Central Publishing (Hachette Book Group) on January 6, 2010. Here’s a bit about the book from Hachette…


Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the town’s founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their choice and the loss of what might have been–not just for themselves but for their children, and children’s children. With expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of passion for work and longing for love.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? Great thing is I will be reading it come end of December, beginning of January so I’ll have a review sometime then. In the meantime I’m really looking forward to it and isn’t that just one of the prettiest covers you’ve seen!

So, how about you – what is it that you’re waiting for?

    I would probably pick this one up based on the cover alone it's so pretty. I like the premise and will put it on my list.

    Makes me think of that perfume Avon used to have years ago. My grama and aunt loved it.
    It does sound ambitious!
