Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.  Melline | Aug 13, 2022 |   The main protagonist, a female, is written in all her vulnerable and confused glory; so much so that any reader would be hard pressed not to want to reach out a helping hand to her, or just give her a cuddle to make her feel better. As the reader travels with her through her trials and tribulations, the Author is able to make them experience keenly the pain and total destruction of self that this woman feels at times. This is a character that the reader wants to be about to address and come to terms with her past, and will want to be there every step of the way to support her. Other characters encountered are equally well written, and will produce a feeling of either like or indifference in the reader or, as in one particular character I just wanted to reach into the pages and slap them. The locations of this enjoyable read are also beautifully written; the heat virtually rises off the pages in some areas and the inhabitants are written in such a way that they too make an impression on the reader. It is very plain to anyone who reads this that the Author did careful research into the area she sets her work in and this adds to the authenticity of the storyline and helps carry it along in a very believable manner. If this series of books is ever published together as a complete novel, I will definitely buy the print copy for my book shelves, and I would highly recommend this first instalment to all readers. This is going to be a series that doesn’t deserve to be just read, it requires the time taken to savour and enjoy it as one would a fine wine or gourmet meal.

Approach to Freetown" is the first volume of the completed tetralogy LION MOUNTAIN, a story about an adult survivor of abuse, a confused woman who searches for a sense of self-worth. Elizabeth Modra is an American artist from Lansing, Michigan, who finishes her Art Degree in Boston then moves to London with her artist boyfriend, where he becomes jealous of her success and abuses her. Broken and vulnerable yet talented, she falls for journalist Peter Safford at her first showing. He takes her with him on a visit to Sierra Leone, where Elizabeth finds an affinity for the people, and the land gets into her blood. As she focuses on these people who seem so happy, content and good to one another even after the recent, devastating Civil War, she begins to realize she has the power within to make of herself something more than she imagined. Through the four volumes, the abused child within Elizabeth struggles to resolve her issues and searches for ways to make her dreams come true. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
