An emotionally charged page-turner!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ground Cover (Paperback)
If you are a fan of emotionally charged page-turners, Edith Marks' new novel, Ground Cover, is not to be missed! Following great success in the non-fiction realm, Marks' debut in fiction will leave you clamoring for more.Filled with compelling action, gripping emotional depth and suspenseful plot twists, Ground Cover follows the lives of the Harts, a passionate and rapidly disintegrating family plagued by tragedy. Marks has done a masterful job of developing emotionally rich, true-to-life characters and a compelling plot that never wavers. Throughout the story, you find yourself not a mere observer of the Hart's lives but a participant in them. Her ability to describe feelings of guilt, loss, betrayal, confusion and love with stunning accuracy and clarity combined with an expert ability to keep readers on the edge of their seats has resulted in not just a book, but an experience. By the time you are finished with Ground Cover, you will know what it is like to have loved and lost, to have given up your life for your convictions, to find peace in the midst of tragedy and to have survived experiences you hope only to read about. Ground Cover is a must read.

Insightful Book,
By Raymond Hunold (San Franciso CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ground Cover (Paperback)
This book is full of suspense because you care about the characters and can't figure out what's going to happen to them next.Cleo, the main character, is an artist. But creative as she is, she is quite an unaware person. She doesn't know whether she is at fault because one daughter takes drugs and the other feels totally unloved. She senses her marriage is on the rocks but hasn't a clue as to why. As Cleo discovers the dark side of herself, we begin to ask ourselves a few questions about our own motivations. In contrast, her husband Adam, is an intuitive man who is a hero to the world as well as to his children. But is he truly a hero? Or is that selfishness we glimpse under his motives? And the third person of the triangle is Gus, a Prince Charming of a man who uses his money and power to grant all Cleo's wishes, be it buying all her paintings, having her roof fixed, or bailing her daughter out of jail. He satisfies her every need, but you come to wonder if she is selling her soul to the devil. And these real people have today's issues to deal with. The destruction of our forests and medicinal herbs for one. But the main issue is vengeance, which makes the author almost clairvoyant, for this book was written before September llth. The book has a satisfying ending. For though it is about the dark side in all of us, it shows transcendance of hate, anger and vengeance and the reaching of unconditional love. Bernice Hunold
