A Fierce Radiance Giveaway

A couple months ago, I reviewed a Fierce Radiance by Lauren Belfer. The novel came out in June, and it should definitely be on your summer reading list, if it's not already. A Fierce Radiance is definitely not your typical brainless summer fare. It's a beautifully written epic thriller about the race by Big Pharma to mass produce penicillin during World War II. Although the topic might sound a bit dry, the novel is actually filled with Nazi spies, corporate espionage, unscrupulous businessmen, and government employees prepared to commit murder to develop what they considered a critical weapon in winning the war.

I loved how much of the story is narrated by a Life Magazine photographer named Claire Shipley. Her shoots, complete with fascinating details about her equipment and angle choices, communicate the pulse of New York, the anxiety about the imminent attack from the Nazis, and the strain of rationing and war.

I have one copy of a Fierce Radiance to give away to one of my readers. I think you're going to love it. To enter to win, please leave me a comment about what's on your summer reading list before Friday, July 16. I'll select the winner at random that night.

Recently I have been reading Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series. Since I love to knit they read quickly. Fan of all books that take place during WWII, so this look great. Thanks for the opportunity.

I love historical fiction, romance, and anything about photography, so this sounds like a perfect fit for a summer read. One book on my list is The War Lovers' by Evan Thomas.

thank you for hosting this giveaway.
