Recently, I was lucky enough to read and review the new Jane Green novel, Saving Grace. It’s rather meatier than your usual chick lit, although still retailing as women’s fiction – I personally think the cover (although very striking) is a bit misleading, but then again, reading mainly eArcs on kindle, I guess I’m not that up on cover art 😉 (Plus there’s that whole painfully non visual thing.)
Marketed as being about a marriage on the edge, it’s definitely not a romance, leaning more towards the psychological drama side. Very well put together, with strong characterisation, I’ll be looking out for other titles. (Although there’s a thrill in coming across a wonderful debut novel, there’s also a definite excitement in the first time you encounter an author with a strong back catalogue, knowing that there’s lot more there to plunder.)
There’s some fun stuff going on on the PanMacmillan website around the launch, and I’ve got a giveaway for 3 hardback copies, using the Gleam widget below.
Competition is open to adults 18 and over with UK addresses, and the rest of the terms and conditions are in the widget. First time commenters are pre moderated so don’t panic if it doesn’t show up immediately, and if you’ve any other problems with it, drop me a note through the contact form or catch me on twitter.
