Giveaway: Safe From the Sea by Peter Geye
Unbridled Books will release Safe From the Sea by Peter Geye in paperback on Sept. 6. If you haven't read this poignant and deeply riveting novel yet, you have got to check it out. I reviewed it last year when the hardcover came out, and it has stayed with me since then.
"For a first novel, Safe From the Sea has very few flaws with only the relationship between Noah and Natalie feeling a bit confused, changing from a semi-adversarial relationship to a loving one once she too arrives in Minnesota. Complex relationships abound in this novel and mirror the churning lake waters when storms approach, but calmer waters prevail as the family comes to terms with reality and the love they share."
This is one of the best debut novels I've read in a long time.
For my US/Canada readers, I've got 1 copy up for grabs thanks to the publisher:
