Excellent Read!!!
This book draws you into the diverse backgrounds of 3 very different women and entices you to explore their reality through excellent character development. The detail and accuracy of both the settings and cultural research makes for a very informative and interesting storyline and keeps you turning the pages to dig deeper into the womens lives. Kudos to the author for highlighting some of the most gripping issues facing modern day women!
GRIPPING FROM START TO FINISH
I was truly overcome with emotion from cover to cover. Julie Mann highlights the struggles that the world’s modern day women face in this gripping yet realistic tale. Mann’s debut novel perfectly showcases her unique writing style and ability to toggle between multiple points of view without losing the overall impact and cohesiveness of the story. Definitely a writer to keep an eye on!
Backshadow
Quite simply, I want to know when Julie Mann is writing her next book! Backshadow was a read that drew me in from the first pages. The novel explores the nuances and expectations of family and marital relations around the world, the highs and lows, the ecstasy and the tragedy. Julie’s writing style is easy to read, pointed, descriptive and gripping. Enjoy!
