Ms. Meaker,
I picked up your Book of Fell today. I read the first chapter
while standing in line. I must say you can really turn a
phrase. For instance:
"In between that party up at Adieu and her Senior Prom, we
fell in love, blown away by the kind of passion that made
Dante write about Beatrice, Tristam hunger for Isolde, and my
father's last client dog the steps of his young, unfaithful
wife, who sneaked off to roadhouses where the jukebox roared
and men drank beer from the neck of the bottle."
You also manage to capture character very concisely -- the
descriptions of Fell's father and Keats's mother were both
beautifully done. I'm looking forward to the rest of the
book.
