jxnhole, my copy of The Given Day was an Early Reviewer. I'm trying to figure out how to write a review of it. I'm sure you know it is not a mystery, but a historical novel. It's a good story, but really not the type of thing I would normally read. Eventually I'll write about it - my only hope is ... I didn’t think The Given Day was going to be out until September!! I’m going to have to hunt it down. Lehane is one of my favorite authors. The kind that I anxiously await his books. And it’s been years since he’s written one. I’m glad to hear everyone enjoyed it. But then it’s D ... Funny, I just finished The Given Day, finished The Case of the Gilded Fly, and am now reading The Wheel of Darkness!
Edited to ask why The Given Day is underlined in touchstones?
Edited again to ask why the touchstone for The Given Day went away? And then came back!! Finished up Dennis Lehane's The Given Day, which was excellent. One of the best books I've read so far this year.
Starting on The Wheel of Darkness by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. I'm also giving away five copies of it here. #30 The Given Day, Dennis Lehane,
#31 The Porcupine Year, Louise Erdrich
#32 Far Above Rubies, Cynthia Polansky

35. The Given Day by Dennis Lehane
Dennis Lehane's new novel is a brawny historical fiction that recreates 1918/19 Boston in rich, vivid detail. He lured me into ... Strangely, I'm reading a book by a male author which has no prominent female characters. Set in 1918 in Boston, The Given Day focuses on two men, one Irish-American, the other African-American; the women fall entirely in supporting roles (i.e. mother, wife, lovers). I'm in 1918/19 Boston and Oklahoma with The Given Day, a forthcoming novel by Mystic River author Dennis Lehane. It has a lot of historical details and is very evocative in its descriptions; one has to appreciate that extra effort by the author. So far, it's great but I have another 600 ... ... an excellent read. I left comments on the book's page here on LT if anyone has it in their TBR pile.
