I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
A strabge and unique story which wasn't really to my taste.
An OK read.

Really good. This is well-written, and at times, emotional. This probably won't be widely read or reviewed, but it those that pick it up will probably enjoy it. The author has talent. There's drama, and pressure on the main character that are often engaging. Literary fans and those interested in the lives of artists of all kinds are likely to connect with this.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!

Being unfamiliar with the artistic community this book gave me insight into their world . It also detailed their thought processes when creating whether it be painting , writing ,performing etc. This book also showed the struggles of being an artist. More importantly this book reflected the diversity of the artistic community in Saint John and the surrounding area during 1939. The setting of the book is the city of Saint John which is very familiar to me .I enjoyed being transported to an earlier time .The travels to New River Beach , Mount Pleasant, and surrounding areas brought back memories of my own visits to these areas. The artistic community is strong today in this city and it can be attributed to those who earlier established its roots. This book is also deep in characters who appear at times struggling with their own demons and challenges but acknowledge their need for the interactions of others in their lives.

this was a really good read, the cover is what drew me in and I am really glad I did. The characters were great and I had a great time reading this.
