BUZZ-WORTHY REVIEW
THE YEAR WE LEFT HOME, Jean Thompson
9781439175880, Simon & Schuster, $25.00
New York Times Book Review, May 8:
“…an extraordinarily warm-hearted novel whose impressive humanity and lightness of touch refresh some narrative elements so abundantly precedented that most fiction writers would have been afraid to go near them.”

Simon & Schuster is publishing two-time Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner David McCullough’s THE GREATER JOURNEY: Americans in Paris (9781416571766; CD, 9781442344167; UAB CD, 9781442344181) this month. This video of McCullough discussing The Greater Journey is definitely one to watch. As McCullough describes himself: “The book I’ve embarked on now is one that I have wanted to do for many years and has never been written. It’s about Americans in Paris, Americans over a period of about 100 years. Primarily I am writing about Americans of exceptional talent and ambition who wanted very much to make more of their ability and felt that they needed Paris, the experience of Paris, to learn more, but also to find out how good they were.”

Congrats to LITTLE BEE – 50 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list!

See below for an update on upcoming publicity for all Simon & Schuster adult imprints in this week’s edition of the SOURCE!

Last week, Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice (Gallery, 978143915275; CD, 9781442336209) was in the S&S offices to celebrate the publication of her new novel, Left Neglected (Gallery, 9781439164631; CD, 9781442335394). Read Genova’s “Top Ten Best Things About My Trip to NYC” at her blog (http://www.leftneglected.blogspot.com/) to hear more about her visit! She’ll be blogging from the road on her tour, so be sure to check back in.

Also, tune in on Wednesday, February 2 when Lisa Genova will be a guest on NPR’s “The Diane Rehm Show.”

In more great news, Left Neglected is the #1 Indie Next List Pick for January and is one of GoodReads.com’s January Movers & Shakers!

In the novel, career-driven supermom Sarah Nickerson is the queen of multi-takers. One day she makes the near-fatal mistake of texting on her phone while driving. She suffers a brain injury and develops a rare syndrome called “Left Neglect.” To promote safe driving, Lisa Genova has partnered with iSpeech.org, which is a technology that powers DriveSafe.ly—an application that reads your text messages and emails to you while you drive. DriveSafe.ly can also respond to your messages. Learn more by visiting the Facebook page, here.

A recent  BookReporter.com Review  notes: ”

At times it is difficult for her audience to remember that Left Neglected is a work of fiction, a figment of a very creative imagination. Written in the first person, the book reads like a moving memoir of a young woman whose world has been turned upside down. It is hard to put down and practically begs to be read in one sitting, as it lingers with the reader long after the last page is turned. Genova certainly has found her literary niche.”
