Easter Giveaway! Books and Chocolate

Happy Easter everyone!  

 I don't think many of us will be spending Easter without our coats and scarves this year,  here in Lincolnshire the sun is shining but it's still really cold.  It is lovely to see the sun though - at long last.  The clocks go forward early tomorrow morning and British Sumertime will begin - here's hoping that we do get some nice weather this year.

Over the past few months I've been honoured to have been able to read some of Pan Macmillan's new releases, before their official publication dates.  Two of my very favourites have been The View on The Way Down by Rebecca Wait and The Promise by Ann Weisgarber.   These are both wonderfully written, quite stunning novels - very different in style, but the impact that they both have had on me has been huge.  I am positive that these two books will be on my Top Ten Reads for many many years.

I'm really delighted to be able to offer beautiful hardback copies of these two fabulous novels as prizes on the blog today, and as it's Easter, I'm going to send the lucky winner some scrumptious chocolate too.

Both of these books are published by imprints of Pan Macmillan; The Promise is from Mantle and The View On The Way Down is from Picador.

Here's a little more information about both the of the books

The View On The Way Down by Rebecca Wait.

This novel will open your eyes and break your heart.

It is the story of Emma’s two brothers – the one who died five years ago and the one who left home on the day of the funeral and has not returned since.

It is the story of her parents – who have been keeping the truth from Emma, and each other.

It is a story you will want to talk about, and one you will never forget.

Publication Date: 11 April 2013

I reviewed The View On The Way Down back in December 2012 -  you can read my thoughts here 

The Promise by Ann Weisgarber

From the author of The Personal History of Rachel Dupree, 

shortlisted for the Orange Award for New 

Writers and longlisted for the Orange Prize. 

The Promise is a heart-breaking story of love, loss and buried secrets, 

which confirms Weisgarber as one 

of the most compelling literary voices writing today.

Publication Date: 11 March 2013 

I reviewed The Promise in January 2013 - read what I thought here
