Latest Strum review comes in from Amazon Australia!

Magic Realism, February 12, 2014
This review is from: Strum (Paperback)

"What a lovely treat to have read Strum, to travel to new places & times or old places but with a different cultural viewpoint.....Chartreuse Notre-Dame to French Indochina & Nepal. There is the almost magic realism of two beautifully crafted guitars....a glimpse into the art of such a craft, & some wonderful descriptive passages. I love a tale where I might learn & Strum is all of that amidst love & loss but for me most importantly, a happy ending. Look forward to your next novel Nancy."
