A Beautiful Story from a Gifted Author,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: A Thousand Miles From Nowhere (Kindle Edition)
Before I begin to review this book I have to make a comment on the introduction. The author shares a list of the very personal songs that inspired her writing process, a soundtrack to her life during the events that take place. I decided to take this one step further and make a Youtube playlist of these songs that accompanied my reading of the book. It allowed me to get into the mind and emotions of the author in a way that I've never experienced before. I highly recommend this for anybody reading.There are many great things about this book but what really hits you is how relatable it is for anybody who has lived half a life. The book evokes feelings of loving, losing and living. These feelings hit you from the very first page when we are introduced to Jed. A Thousand Miles from Nowhere goes a lot deeper then many books of a similar genre, but it is not done through shock or tricks, it is done through the raw emotion of the author and her writing. Saffron has an emotional depth that can only come from her experiences documented in A Thousand Miles. As a first time author Saffron excelled any of my expectations and excels above many of her first time contemporaries, she has created something that comes from a venerable, painful yet beautiful place. A Thousand Miles is the birth of what I hope to be a long and prosperous career in writing. I highly recommend this book for anybody unashamed to cry!! |
