Over de Auteur
Fotografie: MINERVA DAY (a Novel) When Minerva Day’s grandson turns up missing at a Christmas carnival, her daughter accuses Minerva of his murder. Could she have done such a thing? Had she forgotten to take her medicine? The unnerving thought haunts Minerva, just like it did four years earlier when her husband died of a mysterious illness. Then Walter, a new love, brings balance into Minerva’s life. But it is short-lived—her daughter won’t let go of the nagging suspicions that her mother is guilty of the most horrendous of crimes.

This book is filled with poignant, often humorous moments involving Minerva and her interactions with the world. In a book that can be dark and emotionally draining at times, the lighter touches of humor become a welcome respite. Though Minerva often seems cold toward Piper and everyone else she interacts with, the author skillfully develops the character in such a way that we sympathize with her, or at least feel sorry for her, because of the times when we see the world from her unique, and often funny, perspective.
This is a quick, entertaining read, filled with emotional highs and lows, and I'd happily read it again. I highly… (meer)
