Nancy Pearl’s Book Lust Rediscoveries 4 Book Giveaway 11/1

Do you love to read? Do you love getting into a really good, well written novel that you just can’t put down? This next giveaway is for you. It features four novels spotlighted in Nancy Pearl’s Book Lust Rediscoveries. Book Lust Rediscoveries is a series devoted to reprinting some of the best (and now out of print) novels originally published between 1960-2000. One Moms Own Words reader will win these four novels: Fool by Frederick G. Dillen, Gay and Melancholy Sound by Merle Miller, Afterlife by Rhian Ellis, and The Last Night at the Ritz by Elizabeth Savage.

Barnaby Griswold is doomed by the fact that his father believes that he is a “fluffmeister,” someone who will never accomplish anything. After his wife insists on getting divorced, and he loses his home and his high-powered, well-paying job in the financial industry, Barnaby has to figure out if his father was right or if he can repair his life.

Confronting personal and professional collapse, Joshua Bland allows himself eight days to get his affairs in order by recording on tape the first honest account of how events in his past brought him to the present day. Witty, smart, and viscerally powerful, A Gay and Melancholy Sound is “one of my all-time favorite novels,” says Nancy Pearl.

Naomi lives with her mother in Train Line, New York, a community of clairvoyants, aura-readers, and fortune-tellers. There she comes of age, finds work as a medium, and falls in love with a graduate student whose death will change her life forever. Bestselling author Ann Patchett calls After Life, “that rarest of wonders, a book that is both exquisitely written and a thrill to read.”

Readers of Joanna Trollope or Anne Tyler may enjoy this intelligent, captivating, and not entirely trustworthy (unnamed) narrator. She invites three close friends to lunch with her at the Ritz Hotel, in Boston, for her birthday. Two of them are a long married couple she has known since college days. The third was once her lover. The lunch quickly takes an unexpected turn.
