| Walking with Elephants by Karen S. Bell Life can spin out of control sometimes. At least that's what Suze Hall learns. She has a husband who seems to be having a small mid-life crisis, three children on the verge of adulthood, and a job she doesn't find rewarding. She doesn't know what to do. Her husband, the person she should be able to discuss things with,is suddenly taken up with a new turn in his career. Her two best friends have also become involved in personal matters and aren't available when she needs them. A man from the past adds to the chaos her life has become. Karen S. Bell has created a believable series of characters with very real problems that will keep you reading. Some of the problems faced by Suze may seem familiar, as thought you or someone you know has experienced them. You may have a flash of recognition when she encounters someone or a situation you feel you might know. Suze Hall is a modern, you-can-do-it all woman, whose life has centered in the suburbs where home and job are located. It is a narrow path that has demanded little of her. Suddenly she finds that path has become a maze and she must learn to navigate around the blocks and twists that spring from nowhere. If you enjoy a good story with well-known characters, you will find this to your liking. Ms. Bell exhibits an understanding of the human personality and what makes it tick. I recommend this as a very enjoyable read. Anne K. Edwards, Reviewer http://www.ebook-reviews.net http://www.mysteryfiction.net |
