MY GIVEAWAY - International

One winner can choose one book from the three pictured below which will be sent from The Book Depository. I selected these books because the authors all have a connection with New Zealand........and they're all great reading,of course.

1. The Vintner's Luck by Elizabeth Knox.............."One summer evening in 1808, Sobran Jodeau stumbles through his family's vineyard in Burgundy, filled with wine and love sorrows. As Sobran sways in a drunken swoon, an angel appears out of nowhere to catch him.Once he gets over his shock, Sobran decides that Xas, the male angel, is his guardian sent to counsel him on everything from marriage to wine production. But Xas turns out to be far more mysterious than angelic. "

2. The Circus of Ghosts by Barbara Ewing..........." New York, late 1840s, and in the wild, noisy, brash and beautiful circus of Silas P. Swift a shadowy, mesmeric woman entrances crowds because she can unlock the secrets of troubled minds. Above them all her daughter sweeps and soars: acrobat and tightrope-walker. People cannot take their eyes from the mysterious woman in the Big Top who can help so many others ? but she cannot unlock dark, literally unspeakable, memories of her own." My review.

3. Novel About My Wife by Emily Perkins........" Pushing forty and expecting their first child, Ann and Tom buy their first, semi-derelict house in Hackney. They believe this is their settled future, despite Tom's stalling career and their spiralling money troubles.  But Ann becomes convinced she's being shadowed by a local homeless man whose presence seems like a terrible omen." - Dark, sensuous and utterly compelling, "Novel About My Wife" is a taut, chilling novel about the need for escape and the perils of forgetting.
