Thanks to Barbara Hoffert at Library Journal for including A Reunion of Ghosts in this pre-publication round-up of noteworthy new books. The takeway: “Mitchell’s The Last Day of the War had modest success, but this next book is regarded as a big one; with a 150,000-copy first printing.”

And thanks, too, to the organizers of the Heartland Fall Forum, where yesterday I got to talk about Reunion at 7 1/2 minute intervals to independent Midwestern booksellers. It was a blast.
