Joyous Lies

by Margaret Ann Spence

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

I will admit that sometimes the dual timelines will confuse me, leaving me wanting more from a novel. But, Spence’s novel didn’t do that with me. In fact, the dual timelines actually enhanced the story, keeping me up, turning the pages long into the night. The added twists of secrets and needing to know the answers made this a wonderfully captivating read!

Maelle, and Zachary, are both wonderfully chiseled characters. I felt their emotions as my own. I could feel myself being transported to the heart of their story, helping to hunt for the answers,questioning all that they knew. I always told my mom I was born in the wrong era, and reading this story, feeling myself become a member of the commune that Maelle lives at, truly proves, I am a flower child at heart!

The pain, the sorrow, the questions, the love……all of it woven together by Spence’s talented hands. It turns out an unforgettable story that will leave you asking yourself questions about love and life. It will leave you wanting to add Spence to a list of authors who you must read more of! I can’t wait to read more 4 star worthy work from this truly talented author!
