Contest for Palace Beautiful by Sarah DeFord Williams
Sunday, November 15, 2009
I have another Tenner book up for grabs this month. This time you can win an ARC of Palace Beautiful by Sarah DeFord Williams. This contest is international, so anyone can enter. Please read and follow my rules if you want to be entered in the contest.
About the book:
A dazzling debut that is both literary and accessible.
When sisters Sadie and Zuzu Brooks move to Salt Lake City, they discover a secret room in the attic of their new house, with a sign that reads “Palace Beautiful” and containing an old journal. Along with their neighbor, dramatic Belladonna Desolation (real name: Kristin Smith), they take turns reading the story of a girl named Helen living during the flu epidemic of 1918. The journal ends with a tragedy that has a scary parallel to Sadie and Zuzu’slives, and the girls become obsessed with finding out what happened to Helen after the journal ends.
Did she survive the flu? Is she still alive somewhere? Or could her ghost be lurking in the nearby graveyard?
Sarah DeFord Williams has created a gripping read that covers two time periods, many fantastic characters, and a can’t-put-it-down.
