Mad Dash by Patricia Gaffney August 27, 2007

Filed under: Fiction — Kate @ 7:58 pm

A NovelI just finished writing about The Post-Birthday World and in that blurb, I said that there was a theme of questions and “What If’s” and no clear answers.

The theme continues with Mad Dash - but in a vastly different voice and with a very different, but satisfying, conclusion.

Two decades of marriage and one child later, Dash Bateman & her husband Andrew are finding that the opposites that once attracted them to each other are now the very same things that are keeping them apart.  Dash finds Andrew dull and tedious; Andrew finds Dash impetuous and rash. 

Rotating perspectives between the couple allows us to see how two people can interpret the same incident. 

While the ending might be just a little too perfect, the story is fun and the read a quick one.

    You’re slacking! What have you read lately?

    I just finished reading the entire Harry Potter series that I never took the time to read, before. Loved it!
