In this realistic fiction novel, which author Barbara Casey
dedicates to various individuals such as her parents, the publication world
proves quite complex, with aspiring writer Aislinn Marchánt, former wife of
surgeon Robert, getting entangled in the web of publishing. The prologue and
main chapters each open with a quotation from individuals of various
professions, such as authors Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, not to
mention British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. As an aspiring writer
himself, this reviewer could definitely relate with Aislinn, given that her
writing ideas, such as a girl’s friendship with a dragon, are shot down, and
appreciated this intriguing yarn, recommended especially to fledgling authors
seeking an insight, even if fictitious, into the world of publishing.
