Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and it is a way to show off the books you can't wait to be released!!
This week I chose:
"Wentworth Hall"
by Abby GrahameSimon and Schuster
Release Date: May 1, 2012
The following description is from Simonandschuster.com:Obviously this one is going to tie in with the Downton Abbey craze and I am very happy with that! Keep them coming, please! I hope the craze stays around for awhile, I love it!
A lush, historical novel about the secretive Darlingtons of Wentworth Hall!
The prettiest people often have the ugliest secrets…
Eighteen-year-old Maggie Darlington has turned into an entirely different person. The once spirited teen is now passive and reserved. A change Lord and Lady Darlington can’t help but be grateful for.
It’s 1912, and the Darlingtons of Wentworth Hall have more than just the extensive grounds to maintain. As one of Britain’s most elite families, they need to keep up appearances that things are as they have always been…even as their carefully constructed façade rapidly comes undone.
Maggie has a secret. And she’s not the only one…the handsome groom Michael, the beautiful new French nanny Therese, the Darlingtons’ teenage houseguests Teddy and Jessica, and even Maggie’s younger sister Lila are all hiding something. Passion, betrayal, heartache, and whispered declarations of love take place under the Darlingtons’ massive roof. And one of these secrets has the power to ruin the Darlingtons forever.
When scandalous satires start appearing in the newspaper with details that closely mirror the lives of the Darlingtons, everyone is looking over their shoulder, worrying their scandal will be next. Because at Wentworth Hall, nothing stays secret for long.
What are you waiting for this week???

ReplyDeleteYup, all I thought was Downton Abbey
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with Downton Abbey so this is right up my alley. Thanks for sharing this one!
ReplyDeleteI was actually going to pick this for my WoW pick this week and decided to save it for next week instead. I am so excited about it with the Downton Abbey tie-in and comparisons to The Luxe. I hope it won't disappoint! Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this one too. The 1910s were such an exciting time, and I haven't read much about them.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say that this sounds a bit like Downton Abbey meets Gossip Girl, but in a good way, you know?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this book! sounds awesome.
I am getting really excited to read this book, mostly because the cover is gorgeous and for the reason you mentioned. DOWNTON ABBEY! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, yes! I want to read it soooo bad. I hope it's good. I LOVE Downton Abbey.
