Remember ROOM by Emma Donoghue? I was immediately totally absorbed in this imaginative, riviting, nerve-wracking and beautifully written book. 

ASTRAY is Donahue's newest book, debuting in a few weeks.  It's a collection of 14 fact-based fictions about people who have all gone astray in different ways..wanderers and travelers. 

The protagonists in each story are emigrants, runaways, lawyers, slaves, often from different centuries to the present. There's love, money and sex..all the elements to transport readers into a world of great storytelling. 

Anne Patchett, author of State of Wonder wrote that "Emma Donoghue writes books that are unlike anything I have ever seen  and ASTRAY is no exception."

Don't miss this!
ASTRAY will be available October 30th.
