Why not Nick Alexander?Īll right, the book under consideration, The Bottle of Tears: Two embattled sisters with shrouded memories of a calamitous past, and a mother who compounds it all by pitting them against each other. Geez, I know I live in the woods, but other stuff gets through. Ring any bells with you, readers? Merits checking out, I think. To my knowledge I’d never heard of Nick Alexander, but he’s good and evidently enjoying some success: The Other Son, The Photographer’s Wife, The Half-Life of Hannah. It can be done, I know it can be done, I’ve seen it done, and still it gets me every time. Can anyone tell me why I am always astounded when a man does women characters so well? Every time. Finished it with a sigh of satisfaction and moved on to “About the Author”. Assuming, not having noticed, that it was written by a woman. Appreciating the author’s skillful styling, the easy flow and authenticity. Amazon Publishing UK/Lake Union Publishing / Paperback / Publication Date: August 1, 2019
