Thanks to Olivia Aylmer of Hachette Book Group, I am giving away 5 print copies of ‘All Together Now’ by Gill Hornby.
Description of ‘All Together Now’ by Gill Hornby:
The small town of Bridgeford is in crisis. Downtown is deserted, businesses are closing, and the idea of civic pride seems old-fashioned to residents rushing through the streets to get somewhere else. Bridgeford seems to have lost its heart.
But there is one thing that just might unite the community–music. The local choir, a group generally either ignored or mocked by most of Bridgeford’s inhabitants, is preparing for an important contest, and to win it they need new members, and a whole new sound. Enlisting (some may say drafting) singers, who include a mother suffering from empty-nest syndrome, a middle-aged man who has just lost his job and his family, and a nineteen-year-old waitress who dreams of reality-TV stardom, the choir regulars must find–and make–harmony with neighbors they’ve been happy not to know for years. Can they all learn to work together, save the choir, and maybe even save their town in the process?
All Together Now is a poignant and charming novel about community, family, falling in love–and the big rewards of making a small change.

This novel sounds captivting ans wonderful. Thanks.
I like the premise that music can hopefully both bring the town together and save them!
I’d like to see if the whole town can work together. This sounds like an inspiring story. Thanks for the giveaway.
I loved “The Hive,” so I am really eager to read this new one.
Sounds like a real feel good book and would make a good Christmas movie. Some days, you just need to read such a book.
I didn’t read The Hive, but based on what I’ve heard about it, I feel pretty motivated to read anything by Hornby. In choosing among works, I’d prefer to read a new release other readers are talking about. Thanks for offering us this opportunity, Teddy! Cheers, Kara S
I love the idea of music as a common ground! #Wishlisted 🙂
