Book Review #18

Wow I am really flying through books! It is neat to see how many I have read. I am not reading anymore then I always have but I never realized I read this much. No wonder I was always running out of books to read. lol.

This was a recommendation from a friend, she suggested this author. Thanks Bonnie!

From Barnes and Noble
Perpetual optimist Claire Harte-Mathias and her disabled husband, Jon, run a successful foundation to help people with spinal cord injuries. One night, Claire witnesses a woman leap to her death from a bridge, and the tragedy sparks murky childhood memories that leave her confused and frightened. As Claire becomes obsessed with trying to understand the power the haunting memories have over her, she's torn between blocking them from her mind entirely and trying to unearth their source. Putting both her marriage and self image on the line, she struggles to uncover the truth, only to discover that the past, present and future are connected in ways she never dreamed.

Library Journal called Brass Ring "well-written" and "suspenseful." Brass Ring was a Literary Guild and Doubleday alternate selection.

My Review:
If you like Jodi Pucoult you will like Diane Chamberlain. I downloaded this book just based on the author (it was recommended) and I thought I would give it a try. Then I saw the page count and I thought this may be a little long winded. I started reading and before the end of the first chapter I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I felt so close to the characters and I wanted to see everything work out for all of them. A truly well thought out and written book. I look forward to reading more by Diane Chamberlain!
