Next week, Pam Jenoff’s latest book, The Last Summer at Chelsea Beach, comes out (July 28th!) and this was one of my must-gets at BEA this year. I’ve been looking forward to reading this since I first heard about it and you can look for my review here next Tuesday on release day! I had the please of meeting Pam twice this year – at BEA and a few weeks earlier at another book signing. She’s delightful and I have really enjoyed the books I’ve read of hers. In anticipation of release day, I have a giveaway for you – see below for details (and this one is open to US and Canada!!!).

Young Adelia Monteforte flees fascist Italy for America, where
she is whisked away to the shore by her well-meaning aunt and uncle.
Here, she meets and falls for Charlie Connally, the eldest of the four
Irish-Catholic boys next door. But all hopes for a future together are
soon throttled by the war and a tragedy that hits much closer to home.Grief-stricken,
Addie flees—first to Washington and then to war-torn London—and finds a
position at a prestigious newspaper, as well as a chance to redeem lost
time, lost family…and lost love. But the past always nips at her heels,
demanding to be reckoned with. And in a final, fateful choice, Addie
discovers that the way home may be a path she never suspected.
