THE WISHBONES (Tom Perrotta) - June 28/09

Tom Perrotta's first book, The Wishbones might just be the most conventional of all his works, yet there's little doubt that the novel is jam-packed with all the attributes one has come to expect from the brilliant author. It's got compelling characters, well-placed bursts of comedy, and a surprisingly relatable vibe. And, it's worth noting, the romcom-type storyline doesn't feature a single fake break-up! ***1/2 out of ****

Hello David,

My name is Ashley Bridge; I work for Coral Press, an indie publisher of Musical Fiction.

Not only do we publish musical novels, but we are also becoming a prominent source for all things musical fiction. To that end, we have launched The Charts – our list of the Top 40 Musical novels of the past few decades compiled by Kellie D. Brown, author of The Annotated Bibliography and Reference List of Musical Fiction.

As part of our list of Top 40 Musical novels, we’ve included comments on the books from prominent bloggers. We’re pleased to let you know that we are referencing your blog and including a link to this post about The Wishbones

We hope you’ll check out The Charts at http://coralpress.com/playlist/charts/category/top-40-rock-and-pop/. And we’d love it if you created a link back to Coral Press: www.coralpress.com.

All the best,
Ashley Bridge
