Trapped in a terrifying marriage with two young daughters, and a baby on the way, Ciara knows that she and her children are no longer safe in their home. Her husband is cruel, and although he has not become physical, he is emotionally torturing her. While she has been thinking about it for a while, she impetuously leaves when one evening taking the children. Things become impossible. From here on, the book describes her attempt to leave, navigating the impossible bureaucracy, the challenging housing market, being penniless, with children, being unable to work, and being tormented by her husband, as she tries to navigate the situation and keep her children safe, and regain control of their lives. Along the way she encounters the good, the bad and the ugly. Friendships blossom; professionals try to help. The mean stay mean. An emotional rollercoaster, an insider’s look into the difficulty of “leaving”. A good attempt at exposing of how difficult it can be for a woman, especially with children to leave a marriage. A look at the practical as well as the emotional.

Amazing book

If you enjoyed Interview With a Vampire you will like Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. This book is the epic story of three women bound by love and bloodlust. Sabine, Charlotte and Alice unwind their stories and connections to each other covering decades of years both together and apart. Love becomes their undoing. I enjoyed this book and recommend it as a must read.

I was really impressed. I never got to read this book in high school, and I am glad I got to it now. It was a little disjointed, but I realized that is what made it work. It was half story, half memoir, and it made it very interesting and feel authentic. I still do not understand the point of the time travel and alien encounters, but I liked the book overall and am curious to read more of his work.

Loved this book. Great story line. So many twists and turns and surprises!!! Told from a male point of view which is a first for this author.

Great book! Nora and her sister Libby go on a reconnect vacation to Sunshine, N Carolina. While there, Libby makes a list of everything they must accomplish before vacation is over. While there Nora meets Charlie, her nemesis from NYC. As they spend more time together, Nora and Charlie become the romantic couple that can never be together… or can they? I recommend this quick, fun read.

This wonderful novel describes a rarely seen time in history. It is the 1300’s, and the plague comes to Avignon. Eleanore’s mother was a locally famous healer, and Eleanore has taken over her healing duties after her mother’s death. Women who healed were considered to be witches, but a famous physician takes Eleanore under his wing. Together they try to heal those afflicted with the plague. Several characters in the book are real historical people, including this physician. Very highly recommended!

Predictable and Disappointing. A nice feel good book, but I expected more.

You can always count on Katherine Center for a good old fashioned feel good Rom Com. Her latest, THE LOVE HATERS doesn't disappoint. A young women, recently disappointed in love, finds herself drawn to a young man who has similarly had a bad recent past with the opposite sex. Throw in a job in jeopardy, two warring brothers, a coast guard hottie, and a hurricane and you have a few enjoyable hours of reading. What more could you want from a book?

A very well written book. As a recent emigrant out of India, I long to feel the Indian air around me. This book did just that! Took me back into those slim and slender streets, the overly dense colonies, and the ever warm civilizations. Furthermore to the trip back home, it also helped me explore some major European cities via its text explanations... The narrative is very gripping and engaging. Sonaz story and the way her feelings and thoughts have been expressed are not just true like but equally captivating. A lot of effort and research has been put into this book. Such great character building and lovely scene setting in the beginning and the novel reaches a NECT level when it turns from just fiction to mystery... Loved every bit of it...
