Godmother ~ Carolym Turgeon

***reviewed by Mercedes
Godmother

I'm on the shelf as to whether I want to put three stars or four. I give it four stars for originality and lyricism but three stars for the ending...It wasn't bad, simply confusing. I like books that have definitive endings. Endings that make me wonder was that real or was this real, what just happened, are frustrating. I think that they can be fun and it is a mark of a good storyteller as well, but when I've been sucked into a story, I want to have a good idea of where everyone's going. Still, this was a beautifully written story. The descriptions of the characters feelings and the settings were very evocative and powerful. It did take me a while to sink into the story, partly because it is full of sadness and desire and loss and personally, I'm just too stressed to handle those feelings, but once I did get into the story, it was too enticing to put down. Simply put, it read like a dream but I wish there was a sequel.

I loved Turgeon's evocative descriptions of the New York City neighborhoods. However, I would have given it between two and three stars, for the reasons you mentioned above.
