Bonnie Grove is a name to watch. Her debut novel makes the heart resonate (*this* is a debut novel??) And considering she’s dealing with grief, loss, betrayal and mental illness–my goodness, that’s talent!
I spent the better part of yesterday immersed in the world of Kate Davis, feeling every pain, experiencing the mental torment. And when Kate climbs out of the refuse, Ms. Grove brings you right along, wrapping the whole story in a satisfying package of fullness and healing. Brilliant!
I’ve never lost a husband or lived through any of the other trauma in the story, and yet Ms. Grove’s talent brought me right inside Kate’s emotional journey. This is a richly layered novel– subtle, warm and beautifully written. Today I’m still picking through the imagery, wanting just a little longer with this rich cast of characters.
Frankly, I’m just blown away.
Good job, Bonnie! Here’s a fan in Texas anxiously awaiting your next release~
