I ended up with an extra ARC of Gone to the Forest by Katie Kitamura, so that means a giveaway! I was going to wait until I post my review around August 7, but I'm leaving for college on the 13th and need to have it mailed out before then...
Synopsis from GoodReads: Set on a struggling farm in a fiercely beautiful colonial country teetering on the brink of civil war, this second novel by one of literature’s rising young stars weaves a brilliant tale of family drama and political turmoil. Since his mother’s death ten years earlier, Tom and his father have fashioned a strained peace on their family farm. Everything is frozen under the old man’s vicious, relentless control—even, Tom soon discovers, his own future. When a young woman named Carine enters their lives, the complex triangle of intrigue and affections escalates the tension between the two men to the breaking point. After a catastrophic volcanic eruption ignites the nation’s smoldering discontent into open revolution, Tom, his father, and Carine find themselves questioning their loyalties to one another and their determination to salvage their way of life. With the author’s trademark spare, spellbinding prose, Gone to the Forest delivers a powerful tale of unfathomable loss and ultimate redemption.
Details: Open to US addresses only (sorry, but my shipping budget is extremely limited). Ends 8/5/12.
