"Waiting on" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by breakingthespine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
This week's choice o' mine is a YA gothic novel that seems to be just my cup of tea.
Sanctuary by Jennifer McKissackDate of publication: Sept 19, 2015
Synopsis:
After the untimely death
of her aunt Laura, Cecilia Cross is forced to return to Sanctuary, a
rambling, old French-Gothic mansion that crowns a remote island off the
coast of Maine. Cecilia is both drawn to and repulsed by Sanctuary. The
scent of the ocean intoxicates her, but she's also haunted by the ghosts
of her past--of her father who died at Sanctuary five years ago, and of
her mother who was committed soon after. The memories leave Cecilia
feeling shaken, desperate to run away and forget her terrible family
history.
But then a mysterious guest arrives at Sanctuary: Eli Bauer, a professor sent to examine Sanctuary's library. Cecilia is intrigued by this strange young man who seems so interested in her -- even more interested in her than in the books he is meant to be studying. Who is he and what does he want? Can Cecilia possibly trust her growing feelings for him? And can he help her make peace with her haunted, tragic past?
