UPDATED POST! Book Club Favorite Jennifer Haigh's New Novel is On Sale Today!

Jennifer_haighVIDEO NOW INCLUDED BELOW!

The new novel from Jennifer Haigh, author of book club favorites Baker Towers and Mrs. Kimble, is on sale today and is just wonderful. In The Condition, Haigh tells the story of the McKotch family who have all gone their separate ways as their parents have divorced and the children have grown up. The novel is told from the perspectives of each member of the family, each wounded in their own way. Haigh's insights into family will make you reflect on your own. I've read all of her novels and found this one to be on a completely new level, I just loved it. So did BCG reader Julie -- you can read her review over on her great blog Booking Mama. Here is a video of Jennifer talking about the book, which you can browse inside here.

I'm sure you know this, but I was very excited to see that Costco (one of my favorite book spots) selected THE CONDITION for its July pick!

Just talking about this at work (bookstore!) today--we had one copy and sold it immediately. The Three Mrs. Kimble's is still a beat seller around there...

    Who is Book Club Girl?

    • Book Club Girl is: a member of a book club and an avid reader who spent most of her childhood immersed in a book, an English major who considered library school until she realized it was all about computers, so turned to publishing, where she now works (but she vows to talk about books from all over and not to simply flog those from her own house). She was single, lived in the city, met a man, moved to the 'burbs, and is now a wife, a stepmother, a mother, and in her spare time, a fledgling blogger dedicated to sharing great books, news and tips with book club girls everywhere.
