Review of Shelter

[desperance]

Anyone paying attention to these pages will know that my mystery novel Shelter has recently been published in the States. Not many people have actually noticed - yet! - but I thought I might draw your attention to this, from someone who has.

fidelioscabinet gives the book a fabulous review, from which I guess the money shot is this:

"I have had a great deal of trouble putting my reaction to this book into words--it's a very plain story that is very complicated; the language it uses appears to be perfectly clear and simple but this clarity and simplicity is the result of great art. To be blunt, this short novel, masquerading as a sort of mystery, could kick any of the clever things that have clawed their way onto the best-seller lists, or into venues like Oprah Winfrey's reading list, in the slats and leave them wheezing and crying because their glitter had been washed off."

*sniggers*

Oh, nice review! And review of the book I read, too, which is doubly nice!

This sounds like a book that L and I should read together on a long road trip.

I can see them, crawling off into a dark corner to whimper and lick their wounds, moaning about the need for protective legislation to keep furrin books out of the US of A...

Just put it on my amazon.com wish list for when funds thaw a bit.

Lovely reviews, but then I would not believe anything less. I consider myself biased.

*blows warm air, in direction of shivering funds*

(Hey, Lace & Blade is out soon! That could be a triumph, and waft warmth at all of us...!)

Excellent. I love this book and hope that many more people buy copies and love it too.
