I've read several, if not many, of Eva's books--she was the FIRST coaching class teacher I had at OCW way back eight or nine years ago--and this is my favorite so far. The writing is rich, the scenery lush and humid and alive. There's sadness, romance, mystery, faith ... and also the fallout of an unwanted divorce. Unless I blinked and missed them, there aren't many books written for the Christian market that focus on a divorced woman and the wooing of her injured heart. Having been through this myself, I found the emotions and hard situations incredibly true-to-life.
She also does some really different things with Point of View(POV) that worked. Quite often, when I'm editing and a client needs help with understanding POV, I'll give examples of books that do it well. I'm adding Chasing Sunsets to the list.
I did not want the book to end. In fact, I just might be downloading the next book in the Cedar Key series, Waiting for Sunrises. :)
Hi! BUMMER about the a/c in the car!! We lost ours in our van 6 hours into a 14 hour road trip in August. The kids were such troopers.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Freerice.com before. I may show that to the boys tomorrow.
And helloooo, my BOOK isn't freaky, just the freaky parts are freaky. The funny parts are good, and the swoony parts...well...you should scroll down my blog and read the Big Kissing Scene that I posted.
Swoonage.
I'll check out Chasing Sunsets at the bookstore next time I go.
The AC estimate did nothing to cool me down, but it did sure heat me up! Oh, yes, I bet you can write a good swoon scene. :)
