Kind reviews are coming in from across the pond calling GOSSIP “An intense, glamorous novel.”

GOSSIP is out now in the UK, published by Atlantic Books UK, and in paperback in the States by William Morrow Paperbacks.

If you weren’t able to make it to the New York Society Library to see Beth talk with fellow author and friend Lauren Belfer, you can see a video of the talk on YouTube.  Click here to see the video on the New York Society Library’s new website.

See Beth in a discussion with Lauren Belfer on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 6:30pm at The New York Society Library where they will discuss the characters’ relationships in each of their novels and the high emotions that follow when those relationships go wrong.

A blogger over at Lamoglie’s Blog called Gossip “an easy to read but cleverly written character-driven story with a lot of emotional impact” after seeing it in New Books Magazine.  Gossip is being released in the UK by Atlantic Books next month.

Be on the look out for GOSSIP in paperback, being released in the UK by Atlantic Books.

Here’s a sneak peek at the cover art.

Wendy Weil

Wendy Weil, who has been my agent and my beloved friend for well over half my life, died on Saturday, September 22nd. It came without warning and we think without fear or pain, but is no less devastating to the hundreds and hundreds of friends and colleagues who loved her. Shown here with Hamish, whom she adopted last month. If you knew her, you know what a loss this is. If you didn’t, no explanation would suffice. One of a kind, and a gem of a human being. RIP.

“Gutcheon plays with appearances and truth both with her characters and their actions.”  Read the full review on The Gilmore Guide to Books.

“… it is the compelling sense of friendship and loyalty between the characters that is the star attraction of GOSSIP, and Gutcheon proves her mastery as a consummate storyteller with this spellbinding novel.”  Read the full review here.

“There’s something deeply satisfying about stories that allow us to follow a small group of friends over many years — watching careers rise and fall, personal lives fit together or fly to pieces.”

We think so, too…read some quotes from Beth on CTPost.com.  Please note the event at RJ Julia will be rescheduled.  Check out the stories here and here.
