However, O'Hara did do a great job handling that topic overall, and I was really impressed with how Dez's relationship with the "other man" was presented. The art aspect was really vivid and well-written as well, I thought.Renae @ Respiring Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269581772628307546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-45098971041048989542013-05-16T15:50:03.065-07:002013-05-16T15:50:03.065-07:00The cover of Cascade caught my attention.

I like to read about that period of time because it helps me to think about what my grandparents went through. I have not read the book or any excerpts, but have it on my 'to read' list and it sounds like I won't be disappointed.

Really sounds like a wonderful story.

I loved hearing that you looked up the artwork. So funny---the summer the book was in production (2011), I went to a local museum and what was on loan there, but the Course of Empire. I was so excited to see those paintings in person! The detail was amazing.

O'Hara made me like her characters enough that I felt for them even if I disagreed -- the way I do about my friends -- and thus, I wanted to pat Dez on the back, shake her a little -- but never ignore her.<br /><br />I also agree with you about the writing style and the speediness -- I never would have said this was a 360+ page novel -- I read the ebook and would have guessed 200ish. It read so fast. Lovely review as usual!Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.com
