Genre:
Contemporary Fiction/Supernatural Fiction
Description:
“Florence Dantes is a haunted woman. Loss, grief, regret – these are
the ghosts that keep her company. Day after day she lives in her past, a
continual loop with only one escape. Loosely based on Dante’s Inferno, this is the story of redemption that can only
begin within the deepest circle of hell.”
Author:
“C.J. Maughan is a former chemist who realized she was much better at
writing fiction than lab reports. She is oddly fascinated with melancholy and
tends to prefer stories that are depressingly beautiful.”
Appraisal:
Life is hell. At least it is for Florence Dantes. But is what comes
after life better?
This was an interesting and entertaining read. I don’t want to say
much about the plot other than to say the concept was clever. The story should
provoke some introspection about life, decisions we make, and maybe get the
average reader to consider their approach to life’s setbacks.
Format/Typo
Issues:
A small number of typos and other proofreading misses.
