Book Giveaway: The Summer We Fell Apart
>> January 28, 2010
Published just this month, Robin was a guest on Book Club Girl’s podcast this month
This book was also selected as a Target Breakout Book (Feb 14, 2010)
About the author: Robin Antalek’s work has been published in numerous literary journals. She lives in Saratoga Springs, New York, with her husband and two daughters. The Summer We Fell Apart is her first novel.
Synopsis: The children of a once-brilliant playwright and a struggling actress, the four Haas siblings grew up in chaos-raised in an environment composed of neglect and glamour in equal measure. When their father dies, they must depend on their intense but fragile bond to remember what it means to be family despite years of anger and hurt. These brothers and sisters are painfully human, sometimes selfish, and almost always making the wrong decisions, but their endearing struggles provide laughter through tears-something anyone who's ever had a sibling can relate to.
Type: Fiction, 367 pages, Trade paperback

Haven't been reading lately and was looking for a new book to get started again (used to read at least 2 books a week). This looks like a good choice.
