TEASER TUESDAY: WHEN WE WERE WATCHING DOWNTON ABBEY BY WENDY WAX

teaser

This week’s teaser comes from While We Were Watching Downton Abbey by Wendy Wax (p113), sent to me for review by Hachette. Here’s the teaser:

“There’s nothing to be afraid of,” she reminded herself. “You live here just like everyone else. All you have to do is smile, eat some popcorn, have a drink and watch Downton Abbey.”

That’s all you have to do? Sounds like a dream afternoon to me! I’m almost finished this book and will be reviewing it shortly. It’s an easy read, nothing heavy, but I’m liking it. Probably because I love watching Downton Abbey. Here’s the blurb:

Four friends, and a shared passion for Downton Abbey that will change their lives. when the concierge of a historic Atlanta apartment building invites his fellow residents to join him for weekly screenings of Downton Abbey, four very different people find themselves connecting with the addictive drama, and – even more unexpectedly – with each other …

Samantha married young and for the wrong reason: the security of old Atlanta money – for herself and for her orphaned brother and sister. She never expected her marriage to be complicated by love and compromised by a shattering family betrayal. Claire is now an empty nester and struggling author who left her home in the suburbs for a new and productive life. But she soon wonders if clinging to old dreams can be more destructive than having no dreams at all. And then there’s Brooke, a woman in constant battle with her faithless ex-husband. She’s just starting to realise that it’s time to take a deep breath and come to terms with the fact that her life is not the fairy tale she thought it would be. For Samantha, Claire, Brooke – and Edward, who arranges the weekly gatherings – it will be a season of surprises as they forge a bond that will sustain them through some of life’s hardest moments – all of it reflected in their shared love of Downton Abbey.

Sound like something you’d read?

    1. Oh, I just love this show. It’s beautifully done. I’m not a TV watcher, so I waited for it to come out on DVD and then watched at my leisure.

  1. Great teaser! I love watching Downton Abbey too (w/ popcorn!), this sounds like a really interesting book. Thanks for sharing!
