The spotlight today is on Barbara Delinsky’s newest novel Sweet Salt Air which released a few days ago.  I can’t wait to read this one!  I love women’s fiction with a passion so this book is sure to be a winner for me.  I have read a few of Barbara’s books before and I’ve  loved her stories and writing.  So until I can get out a review I thought it would be nice to introduce you to the book, the author, and of course give away a copy to one lucky winner!

About Sweet Salt Air

Charlotte and Nicole were once the best of friends, spending summers together in the Maine island house owned by Nicole’s family, but they have since grown apart. A successful travel writer, Charlotte lives on the road, while Nicole, a food blogger, lives in Philadelphia with her surgeon-husband, Julian.

When Nicole returns to the island house to write a book about island food, she invites her old friend Charlotte for both sentimental and practical reasons. Outgoing and passionate, Charlotte has a gift for talking to people and making friends, and Nicole would like her help interviewing locals for her book. Missing genuine connections in her life, Charlotte agrees.

Reuniting that June on Quinnipeague, they feel the same excitement they always did. But ten years have changed them. There are secrets, born of betrayal and fear, that could destroy their friendship for good. And they aren’t alone on the island. There are locals wary of betraying confidences, ill-timed visits from Nicole’s mother and step-daughter, and more food than any woman who loves island food could ever ask for. Through it all, Nicole struggles to save her marriage, while Charlotte is drawn, night after night, to the far end of the island, where the herbs for which island food is renowned scent the ocean air. Equal parts gourmet, homeopathic, and mystical, these herbs, so crucial to Nicole’s cookbook, are being safeguarded by a dangerous man and his dog.

As the days pass and secrets fall, the two women survive test after test. But with the last one, a health crisis for Nicole’s husband, Charlotte has to decide whether to reveal a final secret that could either save his life – or destroy him.
