The Slow Moon: A Novel par Elizabeth Cox

The subject was painful to read (a teenager is gang-raped) and parts of the story seemed implausible (rapists turn themselves in).

Bargains in the Real World: Thirteen Stories par Elizabeth Cox

Slices of ordinary life told in painful, beautiful detail. Cox has great skill in capturing character nuance and depth. These stories may be short, but they call for time and focus to fully absorb and appreciate.

The Slow Moon: A Novel par Elizabeth Cox

First of all, this book should be shelved in teen. This reads like a YA book and even covers many YA issues.

They certainly did not add to the story. I was intrigued when I started reading the book but it went downhill quite quickly. If you are a reader of Teen Fiction, you may want to pick this one up, if you like good adult fiction, you may want to miss this one.… (plus d'informations)

A Question of Mercy: A Novel (Story River Books) par Elizabeth Cox

What an incredible story. I was drawn in from the very beginning taken by Jess immediately. What starts out as a struggle to blend to very different families quickly became a saga of grand proportions. As I drew closer to Jess and Adam I was triumphant, disturbed, empathetic, saddened and relieved. Nearly breathless as I wanted nothing more than to finish this book, I sighed a great sigh. I realized my journey had finally ended as did Jess and Adam's.
