Waiting on Wednesday: July 31, 2013

Waiting on Wednesday

Summary Courtesy of Goodreads:

As a boy, William Bellman commits one small, cruel act: killing a bird with his slingshot. Little does he know the unforeseen and terrible consequences of the deed, which is soon forgotten amidst the riot of boyhood games. By the time he is grown, with a wife and children of his own, William seems to be a man blessed by fortune—until tragedy strikes and the stranger in black comes. Then he starts to wonder if all his happiness is about to be eclipsed. Desperate to save the one precious thing he has left, William enters into a rather strange bargain, with an even stranger partner, to found a decidedly macabre business.

And Bellman & Black is born.

I loved Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale, and I am so happy that after a seven year hiatus, we will be able to read her second novel,  Bellman & Black .  Publication date for this one is scheduled for November 5, 2013.

Thanks to Breaking the Spine  for hosting this event every Wednesday allowing bloggers to highlight a book that they are eagerly anticipating hitting the shelves!
