The Geography Lesson is a superb novel. Madeleine Parish has written a multilayered story with fascinating, complex characters. It is wonderfully well-written and compelling. I found it hard to put down and hard to forget.

This engrossing first novel is enveloping in it's tale of fear, dysfunction, family importance, forgiveness and redemption. The story flows effortlessly and sometimes uncomfortably into familiar life situations from McMillian, PA to Madacasgar. The characters are drawn convincingly and it easy to insert yourself into the shortcomings and solutions the characters face. If you read only the Prologue, you'll have a terrific read, but continue into this tale of passions and persuasions. Cherish the history and hope for a sequel.

"The Geography Lesson" presents interesting characters whose stories unfold over several years. Links to the 70s, academia and breakthrough medical research will hold your attention and keep you turning the pages. Looking forward to the next release from author Madeleine Parish.
