Book Review: Resurrection

 

Rose
My husband is dead.
All that remains are our memories.
My children will never know their father.
I will never know how it feels to grow old with him.

All that I have left are the voices.
The nightmare that haunts me day and night,
suffocating me,
never leaving my mind.
The torment constantly telling me
I’d be better off six-feet under instead of him.

But the voices stop when I finally look up
and suddenly he’s all that I see.
A beautiful stranger relentless on letting go,
but scared to hold me close
after his own painful suffering.

Justin Gatz.
My boss.
My new best friend.
A savior I never expected.

My Review

Author, Evelyn does it again with this book. I really felt Rose and Justin's emotions. Thus, it brought me very close to them and become invested in the story. I have not lost a spouse but at the same time I could put myself in Rose's shoes; therefore, the internal struggle she had when it came to romantic feelings towards Justin felt real. It was nice to see Justin respect those boundaries and let Rose move at her own pace. 

This in turned allowed for some really steamy moments between Rose and Justin. Which caused a deeper connection both emotionally and physically. I would expect nothing else from Evelyn. She infuses such life into her stories and characters. Lastly, I do want to briefly talk about the new ending. It was rewritten and changed. I like the new ending better and felt it suited the story as a whole.

  Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child. Later, following her mother’s sudden death, Elizabeth’s wise, principled father attempts to fill his late wife’s shoes with a string of loopy, live-in housekeepers―with privileges, he hopes. Before it is over the Mexican escapade will bring down the kind of disasters commonly found in pulp fiction. Why can’t Elizabeth stop any of this from happening?
