Hopefully some other time.<br /><br />As to when a harrowing read feels worth it - I definitely agree the main character has to feel like they grew. In some way evil has to be defeated. If you don't have those, then what was the point for them and especially for us.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-39765962412372297632014-05-31T10:52:32.343-07:002014-05-31T10:52:32.343-07:00Barry, always good to see you, and thanks for your...Barry, always good to see you, and thanks for your kind words and support!Jenny Milchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410805792044518458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-37902560180868242442014-05-31T10:52:02.524-07:002014-05-31T10:52:02.524-07:00Marie, nice to meet you here, and thanks for being...Marie, nice to meet you here, and thanks for being interested!Jenny Milchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410805792044518458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-16019110920397973772014-05-31T10:51:24.258-07:002014-05-31T10:51:24.258-07:00Mark, I have to thank you for this wonderful revie...Mark, I have to thank you for this wonderful review. You saw things I hoped to put in there--and even some I didn't, which attests to your powers. I appreciate your picking up something that isn't your usual, and you raise a point I think would make for great discussion. In what ways can a harrowing read feel worth it? If the character has more strength and knowledge at the end...were the events of the story in some way necessary? I would love to get to talk further at some point...and in the meantime, thank you again.<br /><br /> Jenny Milchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410805792044518458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-55503653553544577442014-05-29T21:55:46.256-07:002014-05-29T21:55:46.256-07:00I bet you would like it based on what you like to ...I bet you would like it based on what you like to read.Mark Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567392254011373198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-68653165209879240602014-05-29T18:14:50.094-07:002014-05-29T18:14:50.094-07:00This does sound like an interesting book.

As you point out, Jenny's prose style is that of a writer of long experience rather than of a newcomer, which attests to her craftsmanship--and artistry.Barry Erganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305184548497082776noreply@blogger.com
