I’m so pleased that Joshua Henkin has offered to co-host a giveaway of his novel Matrimony! I reviewed this mid-August, just before the release of the paperback. One of the things I really like about Matrimony is that Henkin shows the significance of the “everyday” parts of a marriage, as well as the “extraordinary.”
Has your book group read Matrimony and is ready to discuss it? Read what Henkin has to say about books group in this guest post over at Books on the Brain – he loves talking to discussion groups and may be able to schedule a virtual visit - all you need is a speakerphone! This is a great novel for book groups to talk about; there’s a reading group guide available, to get you started.
Some of us like the nice display a hardcover makes on a bookcase; some of us realize that we can get more “bang for the buck” if we wait for the paperback … now’s your chance! You can buy this New York Times Notable Book in paperback, or leave a Comment on this post for a chance to win; winner will be drawn randomly, and announced on September 16 (and if you don’t win, you can head to the bookstore then!). Joshua Henkin will personally inscribe the book in your name and pop it in the mail; as my six-year-old would say: how cool is that?!
This is on my wishlist. Please enter me.

It’s great the authors are getting the word out via book clubs and/or blogs! ~ 5 million people belong to book clubs. . .
Sounds an interesting book — please count me in! Thanks.
