The Nobodies Album by Carolyn Parkhurst giveaway ends 7/15 CLOSED

2 WINNERS ARE LESLIE AND AUTUMN

Olivia Frost is a successful novelist who has come up with an imaginative idea for her most recent book. It is a compilation of the endings of her previous books, rewritten the way she wishes they had concluded. Her general equanimity is rattled when she finds out her estranged son Milo is being held as a murder suspect. The present tale of Olivia and Milo’s attempt to establish a new relationship and the “short stories,” alternate with each chapter. Although the flow is somewhat interrupted by these “revised endings” if you allow them their own significance you will find yourself appreciating them immensely. The book is about looking the truth in the face, accepting it and making it work for you. Accepting that your past, the past, need not be rewritten to be satisfying. This was an enjoyable read and I recommend it. 2 copies available for giveaway.
