The lovely cover image is multifaceted, conveying isolation and darkness yet also an invitation to join the warm interior. When coupled with the title which is the central character’s startling name, the effect is instant and alluring.
The language is immediately masterful, full of delicious verbs and adjectives, and Lake Superior presents an unfamiliar yet intriguing setting.
One sentence confirmed my immediate sense that this author is one of the rare ones who combines creative language, quirky images, and surprising events seamlessly: “Apparently my heartbroken Pontiac breached a safety barrier and made a long, lovely, some might say cinematic arc into the churning lake.” I’m ready for lots more and hope the story is ,one!
