Serenity Boat by Sarit BrikMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A wonderfully written and richly descriptive novel...
Serenity Boat by Sarit Brik is a wonderfully written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn characters driven by love, loss and tragedy. The author weaves a well-crafted romantic drama written around the personal tragedy she lived through with the suicide of her father. It’s an all-encompassing human dramatization that will captivate the reader from the first page to the last.
I enjoyed the story, character development, and dialogue. There were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming and that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the novel in my head to see if I could figure more out. It has been a while since I enjoyed a book this much.
There’s no doubt that Serenity Boat is an exceptionally well written book. The contrast between tone and content is a characteristic talent of only a few authors. The author pays as much attention to her sentences as she does to her plots, shifting or consolidating meaning with the use of a single word. Her writing is impeccably honed, full of juxtapositions and qualifications that help to create a reflective and poetic atmosphere throughout. Highly recommended. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
