I’m a little late in posting this week’s Pick! Sorry. Friday was hectic.
Thinking of great authors I’ve loved, Belva Plain comes to mind. She tells great family sagas, rich in characters and history. While her writing is straight forward and simple, with an occassional point of view hop, she has an amazing way of weaving a complex story and drawing in the reader.
She employs unusual themes and settings. And some where along the line, there’s a surprise twist or two.
An author friend asked several other authors, “What books do you read for pleasure? I can’t seem to find any I can stick with.”
I recommended Belva Plain. My friend loved her stories. For the first time in a long time, she spent a Sunday lost in reading.
I recommend Belva Plain for story and characterization. She does amazing work.
