Guest, Revisited
by
Nothing makes my day like having a reader (and, in this case, fellow writer) love one of my books so much s/he wants to turn back to page one and start all over:
“When I was asked to review a book I love for Off the Shelf, I thought immediately of An Unexpected Guest by Anne Korkeakivi. I read it again to remind myself of what I’d loved, to fill my head with Korkeakivi’s beautiful sentences and compelling story, and to inspire myself all over again to celebrate this extraordinary book. When I read the final sentence yesterday—after a headlong, breathless rush through the last hundred pages—I gasped out loud. It was actually better the second time.”
Thank you, Melodie Winawer, for this lovely review of An Unexpected Guest in Simon & Schuster’s magazine Off the Shelf!
