Jennifer Donnelly, author of A Gathering Light, is back next month with her new novel, Revolution. Jennifer's debut novel A Gathering Light has sold 380,000 copies and gained wonderful reviews, also scooping the Carnegie Medal in 2004, so we've been waiting for her next offering for quite some time!Revolution is released on October 4th. Here's the synopsis:
Andi lives in New York and is dealing with the emotional turmoil of her younger brother's accidental death. Alex lives in Paris and is a maid to the royal family as the French Revolution rages. They're both struggling with their responsibilities and their places in the world. When Andi is sent to Paris to get her out of the trouble she's so easily enveloped by in New York, their two stories collide, and Andi finds a way to reconcile herself not only to her past but also to her future. This is a wonderful and evocative portrait of lives torn apart by grief and mended by love.
