A well written story, and yet... have you ever sat in a high-end coffee shop or restaurant and overheard a story at a nearby table? You spend your time listening into someone else's drama, intrigued and yet without commitment: you will never see this person again so you aren't emotionally involved in their tale of woe and insanity. That's how I felt reading Seven Moves. I never emotionally invested in the main character, Chris, but rather, in the story itself. I wanted to know how the story ende

<spoiler>What?!? All that and no resolution? It's so disappointing.</spoiler>
The book moves pretty slowly, more slowly than I was expecting for a mystery-type book. I enjoyed parts of it, wondering what would happen next. The high points were the Morocco-related parts--those were most interesting.
See the spoiler at the beginning of the review for the full reason behind my dislike, but here I'll just say, I had mildly high hopes for this book and was disappointed.

Seven Moves is a intriguing story of a woman, Chris, who's searching for her possibly missing lover. The lover, not known for her dependability or responsibility, might have just left the relationship, might be wandering about, or might actually have had something nefarious happen to her. Over the course of the search for answers, Chris finds out more than she bargained for about her lover's past and present. And, Chris herself enters into a new life as if her lover is never going to be heard fr

I'm on a lesbian novel kick, and this was a good, though not great one. The relationship between the characters was kind of compelling, even though the characters themselves weren't tremendously developed.

A solid, fun read. Not terribly deep, but sometimes that is just fine with me.

This book surprised me. I didn't have great expectations. The story revolves around Chris after her lover of many years unexpectedly disappears. The author is so good as describing Chris, and what is going on in her head. Anshaw has wonderful insight and elegant prose. We really get to know Chris, and what it must feel like to not know where your loved one has disappeared to. SPOILER: I liked that the reader was left not knowing what happened to Taylor, just as Chris was left wondering.

Carol Anshaw is a good writer, hands down. It's just an added bonus that she writes real and memorable stories with lesbian protaginists. What I love most about Seven Moves is that the ending is not what you'd expect...that, and the scene where the main character is trying to get on with her life, and she finds herself changing small habits, like suddenly splurging on expensive bath supplies. I love this detail so much and have never forgotten it.

This came highly recommended and I enjoyed Aquamarine, Anshaw's first book, but Seven Moves was very disappointing. I expected more of a thriller and suspense novel; instead it was a slow-moving psycho-sociological exploration which became very dull. Perhaps it was my expectations, but in any case this book let me down.

Sloow slow slow slow slow. I expected more after loving "Aquamarine. For someone who loves texture it seems excruxiatingly detailed. I think it would have been a great short story and held greater depth and intensity with a dash more brevity.

B Not as captivating as Aquamarine, this novel tells the story of a woman's girlfriend who suddenly disappears…and how the narrator copes. Interesting.
