A novella that is written in a unique style, which presents the story of an unlikely couple, a former actor who is broken in many ways, and a Native American woman, who is still trying to find her place in the world.
My thoughts:
It was an interesting read, that is for certain! From the theatrical writing style to the quirky couple around which the story is centered, this is the kind of book that will leave you wanting for more. I loved how Guisy, who is an aspiring screenwriter, appears as the perfect counterbalance for John, a shadow of who he used to be, most defined by this sarcastic attitude.
They each had rough lives, yet Guisy manages to maintain a positive outlook on life. Her meeting with John will take her on a journey like no other, one defined by a whirlwind of good and bad emotions. These two characters are undeniably drawn to each other, making you want to follow their journey until the very end. They come from different worlds, yet once they meet, their encounter is like a stellar explosion, leading to all sorts of consequences.
I think the author wanted to show that it can happen to meet someone who will change your life forever, taking one step further to offer a glimpse into the future of such a relationship. It was also interesting to read about the challenges of being a Native American woman, as well as about the traditions associated with Indigenous life.
Verdict:
This is, without doubt, an original idea. The book is written in a fresh style, with a tint of melodrama. Strong points include: well-developed characters, ability to pain a dysfunctional relationship, healing journey, glimpses into the lives of Native Americans. There are also potential triggers to consider, including accidents, near-death experiences and the rescuing of abandoned children. Overall, an interesting read!
