Hachette Books has generously offered to send three audio copies of The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova to readers of Fresh Ink Books. Thank you to Hachette and Anna Balasi for making this possible.
The giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only and Hachette does not mail to P.O. boxes. Entries accepted until midnight Monday, February 1 and winners announced as soon as all have been contacted.
Description:
"Richly told, beautifully imagined, The Swan Thief takes us across centuries, from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from young love to last love. Elizabeth Kostova deftly explores the painter's universe- passion, creativity, secret, madness- and, with a gift for storytelling that made The Historian an international sensation, conjures a world that lingers long after the last page is turned."

ReplyDeleteI've been reading a lot of good reviews of this book, and then sat by it today while reading in the library. I kept looking at the lovely cover and touching it, then reminding myself I can't read it yet.
whoops! Forgot my email

Thanks!
I LOVE that you're giving away the audio version! So exciting. :) I commented on your Moby Dick post, which I thought I'd already commented on (I think sometimes I comment in my head while I'm reading a post in my Google Reader, and then I forget that y'all can't read my mind). And of course you're in my Reader!

Ooooh I've been waiting for this book ever since I finished The Historian, which I very much loved the writing eventhough the "genre" is not essentially my cup of tea. I'll just wait till it hits the bookstores here :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this book. I've been seriously considering it.
