Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos Buy book: $15.56
A tribute to classic film and true romance, this is the story of a 31-year-old cafe manager and an 11-year-old searching for her father, and the unexpected ways in which their lives are forever changed by chance.
I didn't have time to read Monday's excerpt, but boy, am I glad I bothered to read Tuesday's! Not even having read the first, only half way through the second, I put this on my to be read list. What a fabulous writer!
One of the best romances offered recently. The author really succeeds in creating a unique voice for her heroine in the first few pages. Given what she says about inverting the love-scene formula in Philadelphia Story, I am expecting some supprises with the love formula in Love Walked In.
This 3rd day is even better than the first two. Her words are sheer poetry.
These two phrases really caught my eye as especially well written.....
She's got a straight white dream of a dress hanging from her tiny collar-bones, a dress fluted and precise as a Greek column but light and full of the motion of smoke.
and....
If a girl could sling a poem over her swimwear as though it were an old T-shirt, what else might be possible?
This cemented it for me....I am going to buy this book. It is remarkable.
