As an author it's hard to work out how to intrigue without giving away so much, the reader feels s/he doesn't need to read the book. On the other hand, you don't want to be irritatingly enigmatic either! <br /><br />You've summed up exactly what I try to do. :-)Linda Gillardhttp://www.lindagillard.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-17047392388438003952012-04-03T20:22:26.145+02:002012-04-03T20:22:26.145+02:00Thanks for sharing this book and author with us Li...Thanks for sharing this book and author with us Linda.

I find some reviews just too lengthy and detailed. Maybe mine tend to be the opposite, rather concise, but I am trying to tempt my followers to read the book for themselves, without giving to much away.

If only...Thanks, Linda, for your thoughtful review. If only all reviewers were so considerate when it came to spoilers. But I do appreciate how difficult it is to give the flavour of a book (and perhaps say why it's worth reading) without giving anything away. I think this is particularly so with my books. With my plots, what you see isn't always what you get! ;-)<br /><br />The cover image has had a mixed reception. (Glad you liked it, Yvonne. :-)) We tried to come up with something that said "psychological romantic family drama" an impossible task of course, especially with a Kindle thumbnail. The cover was meant to be intriguing and we wanted it to suggest a woman running away from her marriage (which Fay did after many years.) The apricot sky was meant to suggest burning (the war zones Magnus had served in) and the whole thing represented one of Fay's many nightmares in which she does the unforgiveable: refuses to stand by her man.<br /><br />But I don't think it worked. Readers see the wedding dress and think "chick lit". In vain do I point out that this bride isn't smiling!Linda Gillardhttp://www.lindagillard.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934873530287535675.post-43368406619189212102012-03-28T19:20:44.409+02:002012-03-28T19:20:44.409+02:00Hi Linda,

All of her books seem to deal with difficult and emotionally challenging issues and it sounds as though she does this in an entertaining yet serious way.<br /><br />I have added the books to my humongous reading list and I have to say that I quite like the cover. <br /><br />Obviously it would be impossible to choose whether or not to read a book without a synopsis, however I have to agree that increasingly many synopses do give away too many 'spoilers', which is a real shame. <br /><br />Hope that you are getting the same fantastic weather as us and are enjoying a good week.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.com
