Insightful and Powerfully Moving,
By H. Festus (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Anglo (Paperback)
A portrait of a brief moment in time. Powerfully written, deeply rooted in the scenic Southwest. Love the desert!
Poignant and unpredictable. Not at all a linear format. In the end, I felt like I was coming home. She has held a mirror up to the short-comings of this modern dilemma we are in---in an unforgettable way.

The Anglo,

Great story line and character development. Couldn't wait to see how the lives of the characters connected and how the story ended. Made me miss New Mexico!

A Strong Commentary,
By Page Turner (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Anglo (Paperback)
A stark indictment of the random injustice of both our failing healthcare system and the criminal justice system. The Anglo tells the too-often-told tale of an orphan in the making. Another and another and another falls victim to cancer. The war on cancer---it's about time we make it our priority. The author has an artistic vision like that of a landscape painter. I felt like I was right there with these characters---in their landscape, in their midst. They will not soon leave my psyche. Also by Jo Moore--ADOBE DREAMS;TURQUOISE AND OBSIDIAN: 14 STORIES;OTHER OBSESSIONS

Beautifully and intelligently written.,
By Tom O'Malley (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Anglo (Paperback)
Gripping and transformational. It's the story none of us ever want to face in our lifetimes, but we all know someone who has or will. A random act of violence, a random cell multiplies into cancer, leaving a young boy without his parents. It's a heart-wrenching story, but so true to life and so necessary to tell. The setting around Santa Fe and Los Alamos is as dramatic as the storyline. Beautifully and intelligently written. It broke my heart.

On one level a great story, on another a profound one...,
This review is from: The Anglo (Paperback)
A wonderful story in a beautiful setting, where a random act of violence has a ripple effect on so many people. This is what life is for all of us, where some small action, (good or as in this case, bad), can create such a long term and tremendous change in so many different lives. This is the part that is very profound...I like a novel that makes me think (and its a darn great story too!!!).
This is a 5 for 5 recommendation, not only because of what I have written about, but also because it is impossible to put down!!! Well recommended! |
