I’m new to Liz Fenwick’s work, but based on my recent devouring of The Last Christmas, I’ve been missing out on some incredible storytelling.

But while Cole is the central character, this “novel in stories” is really about the women he encounters. Each is distinctly herself. There is no particular type, no interchangeable parade of romantic interests. Hale gives these women agency, personality, and histories of their own, while allowing us to experience Cole’s story through their eyes.

This is historical fiction, romance, family drama, and a novel about art, memory, culture, and identity, but none of those pieces feels as though it has wandered in from a different book.

Re: Not writing much–
It’s not EQ, it’s more just that I don’t feel like I have anything to write about lately. I can only gripe about work so much before it starts to get old, tiresome, and boring–you know, the point where people start saying, “At least you HAVE a job!” Plus, with the whole business thing…busy.
I’m hoping to get back into it. I’m driving up to Seattle in a few weeks, going up along 1/101 on the coast, so hopefully there’ll be a sort of travelogue that’ll get me interested and feeling like I have more to write about than just being generally cranky.
Sorry to spam your comments here with a reply, too. :)
Afraid that upon receiving my invitation I snatched their hands off, hope that doesn’t make me a bad person :(
