- Latest Review: You Say Goodbye by Keith Steinbaum
I absolutely love when authors manage to show different perspectives and voices successfully. I think it allows you to get a 360o vision of what's going on and get to know each character individually more in-depth.The story is written in first person present tense with each section moving from character to character. As each woman tells her story as she is experiencing it, the reader feels like he or she is on the journey with them. It quickly becomes apparent that this story is about so much more than the sport of fly fishing. Each woman faces her own set of life's challenges, from Sophie's struggle to find love, to Amanda's difficulties in coping with her husband's deployment while raising two small children. I loved seeing how these women developed strong, supportive friendships. They truly became a group of sisters, always ready to lend a hand, a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on.
Thanks for including your personal opinion. I think it always enriches a review when we get an insight on what the reviewer experienced.One of the only things I didn't care for so much was the practice of catch and release. I have always struggled with this aspect of fly fishing because it seems cruel to me and no one in my family has ever fished purely for sport. Although I had a hard time with that, by the end of the book the practice of catch and release becomes a beautiful metaphor.
Great review!
