Friday Finds at the Bookstore: The Warsaw Conspiracy by James Conroyd Martin

I found this book by accident the other day while perusing Goodreads, and I could barely contain my excitement! Years ago I fell in love with James Conroyd Martin's Push Not the River, and I have been impatiently awaiting his next novel ever since. This novel will definitely be placed on the top of my TBR pile! 

Publication Date: December 12th 2012
Format: Paperback 508pp

Synopsis (From the Publisher):
"Engaging and opulent, THE WARSAW CONSPIRACY unfolds as a family saga set against the November Rising (1830-1831), partitioned Poland’s daring challenge to the Russian Empire. Brilliantly illustrating the psyche of a people determined to reclaim independence in the face of monumental odds, the story portrays two brothers and their fates in love and war. Michał is a seasoned veteran soldier, cautious of the evolving conspiracy; Józef, his much younger brother and impassioned cadet, finds himself caught up in the vortex of a daring plot to abduct the Grand Duke of Russia. With Siberia or emigration to France looming as heart-rending contingencies, matriarchs Anna and Zofia stay steadfast in their resolve to steer the clan through ever-muddying waters."

*Unlike his other books, I could only find this one available for purchase on Amazon.

Happened upon your great blog, Svea! So glad you loved Push Not the River.

The Warsaw Conspiracy book just became available on Barnes and Noble but still waiting on the Nook edition.

Best to you and your writing and site!
