Publishing This Week: All the Little Hopes

Publishing This Week

Hello,

This week's new and notable lineup includes Leah Weiss's sophomore novel, All the Little Hopes, set in 1940s North Carolina. Like her 2017 debut, If the Creek Don't Rise, it is a standalone and the early indicators are that it will be just as popular with BookBrowse subscribers as If the Creek Don't Rise which was voted one of the Top 20 books of the year and proved ripe for discussion in our book club.

Talking of book discussion, 50 lucky BookBrowse members received a free copy of All The Little Hopes a couple of months ago, and we have just opened up a discussion in our book club forum. It will be open for all visitors to post for at least six weeks and available to view for the long term. Please do join us!

With best wishes,

Davina, BookBrowse Publisher
