Book Spotlight: The Book of Silver Linings

Last year, I loved Nan Fischer‘s novel, Some of It Was Real, and I’ve been eager to read more from her. Luckily, I won’t have to wait any longer: Her new novel, The Book of Silver Linings, is out today. The story follows Constance Sparks after she (somewhat reluctantly) agrees to marry her boyfriend. With increasing jitters leading up to the wedding, she discovers the letters of a long-dead man who was once connected to her antique engagement ring. But when she writes a note confessing her pre-wedding doubts, she’s surprised when the man (ghost?) writes back!

Wow, what an intriguing synopsis! Is this a magical love story across time? How are Constance and the man from the past communicating? Could they be soul mates despite the time difference? I don’t know, but I need to find out! The genres attached to this book don’t mention the paranormal, but whatever direction the author takes this in, I’m all in.

Find out more about The Book of Silver Linings below, and let me know if you’re planning to pick it up. If you’ve already read it, let me know how you liked it in the comments! I’m hoping to read this book soon, so stay tuned for my review.

Official Summary

Within the margins of an antique book, a timeless love waits for a young woman on the precipice of a terrible mistake in this enthralling exploration of fate and independence from the acclaimed author of Some of It Was Real.
 
Constance Sparks always says yes…when her capricious best friend needs money; when her boss gives her more responsibility without a raise; and when her boyfriend, Hayden, who is very kind but also secretive, asks her to marry him.

While planning their wedding—and struggling with anxiety about the right course for her future—Constance researches the history of her antique engagement ring and unearths the name of a man who might be connected to it, plus his tragic love story. When she finds a book of letters in her library’s old manuscript section written by the long-dead man, Constance is deeply touched by his words and leaves a note for him confessing her uncertainty and doubts. She’s shocked days later to find a response tucked among the pages.

As the notes continue to arrive, Constance finds herself quickly falling in love with a ghost and putting her real-life relationship in jeopardy. Will a bond based on letters impossibly sent from the past derail her future? Or will Constance discover her voice and risk everything for the chance to somehow connect with her true soul mate?
