Sample Saturday is when I wade through the eleventy billion samples I have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m slowly chipping away and deciding whether it’s buy or bye. This week, all three are new releases.

Modern Marriage by Filip Vukasin

Summary: Everything in Klara’s life seems perfect, until she receives a call – her husband was found unconscious in a gay sauna and now lies in a coma.

I’m thinking: No (it’s a voice thing).

The Spectacular by Zoe Whittall  

Summary: Three women – Missy, 22, whose band has hit the big time; forty-something Carola, surfacing from a sex scandal at the yoga centre where she has been living; and Ruth, 83, planning her return to the Turkish seaside village where she spent her childhood. Their lives suddenly intertwine.

I’m thinking: Maybe (like the style but will it be predictable….?).

Tenderness by Alison MacLeod

Summary: 1928, a dying author in exile races to complete his final novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Thirty years later, in her last days before becoming first lady, Jackie Kennedy learns that publishers are trying to bring D. H. Lawrence’s long-censored novel to American and British readers, and the government responds by taking the book to court. Kennedy attends the trial.

I’m thinking: No (why does historical fiction have to be so descriptive?).
