2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Invisible, as Music
Invisible, as Music by Caren J. Werlinger
This warm and gentle love story doesn’t have a lot of plot: sort-of-but-not-quite friends to lovers. The setting in upstate New York, I wish she had devoted just a little more time to describing. I love the finger lakes, but she never really made me feel like I was there. I had to fill in too much with my own imagination. But the characters were just about perfect. Lives full of delights and obstacles, interests and frustrations. I felt like I was reading about neighbors I could walk down the street and have coffee with. Her writing style flowed like water in a lazy river. Not destructive, not spectacular like a waterfall, but pleasant, like the water in a river that you canoe in on a summer afternoon. It’s an unusual love story, and deeply satisfying.
