My review of Land Without Mirrors by Marina Brown has appeared on the Tallahassee Democrat’s blog and in its print edition (May 5, 2013). Brown’s book is a captivating and engaging read written in a classic literary style. She has drawn rich, complex characters woven within an intricate plot of love, romance, intrigue, betrayal and revenge. Set in the 1930s Caribbean, Brown’s tale follows the fall from innocence among three teens on a leper colony off the coast of Trinidad in the 1930s. I write:
“About fifty pages into reading Land Without Mirrors this book began screaming “Book Club!” Complex characters, layered story lines, timeliness, ethical dilemmas, romance, intrigue, betrayal permeate this story told in a classic literary style. Marina Brown has woven a historical tale with a controversial contemporary twist that will keep readers engaged and intrigued.“
