Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where you get to highlight an upcoming release that you are looking forward to. This week, my pick is Escape by Barbara Delinsky (expected publication date:July 5,2011).
Synopsis (from bn.com): Emily Aulenbach is thirty, a lawyer married to a lawyer, working in Manhattan. An idealist, she had once dreamed of representing victims of corporate abuse, but she spends her days in a cubicle talking on the phone with victims of tainted bottled water—and she is on the bottler’s side.
And it isn’t only work. It’s her sister, her friends, even her husband, Tim, with whom she doesn’t connect the way she used to. She doesn’t connect to much in her life, period, with the exception of three things—her computer, her BlackBerry, and her watch.
Acting on impulse, Emily leaves work early one day, goes home, packs her bag, and takes off. Groping toward the future, uncharacteristically following her gut rather than her mind, she heads north toward a New Hampshire town tucked between mountains. She knows this town. During her college years, she spent a watershed summer here. Painful as it is to return, she knows that if she is to right her life, she has to start here.
This book sounds so appealing to me right now, especially since I think about doing something like this every single day. What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I've read Barbara Delinsky's books for a really long time. This one looks appealing. Nice pick!
