Giveaway: The Book of Summers by Emylia Hall

Thanks to Ava Kavyani, Freelance Publicist and the author, Emylia Hall, I am giving away one copy of The Book of Summers.




Book Description:

Beth Lowe has been sent a parcel.

Inside is a letter informing her that her long-estranged mother has died, and a scrapbook Beth has never seen before. Entitled The Book of Summers, it’s stuffed with photographs and mementos complied by her mother to record the seven glorious childhood summers Beth spent in rural Hungary.


It was a time when she trod the tightrope between separated parents and two very different countries; her bewitching but imperfect Hungarian mother and her gentle, reticent English father; the dazzling house of a Hungarian artist and an empty-feeling cottage in deepest Devon. And it was a time that came to the most brutal of ends the year Beth turned sixteen.

Since then, Beth hasn’t allowed herself to think about those years of her childhood. But the arrival of The Book of Summers brings the past tumbling back into the present; as vivid, painful and vital as ever.

About Emylia Hall:

Emylia Hall was born in the U.K. in 1978 and grew up in the Devon countryside, the daughter of an English artist and a Hungarian quilt maker. After studying at York University and in Lausanne, Switzerland, Emylia spent five years working in a London advertising agency before moving to the French Alps. It was there that she began to write. Emylia’s short fiction has appeared in numerous publications, and Elle Magazine (U.K.) named her one of 2012’s most anticipated debut novelists. Emylia now lives in Bristol with her husband, also an author.


THE BOOK OF SUMMERS is her first novel, and is inspired by evocative memories of childhood holidays spent in rural Hungary.
