![]() ![]() ![]() In Stephen Emond's second novel, the relationship of two childhood peas-in-a-pod, Lucy and Evan, is written as well as the script for any indie-movie. A finely cut, authentic, real gem amongst a sea of plastic rhinestones, Winter Town does not disappoint. It might seem different from the rest because, in retrospect, it is. Kirkus Reviews said, " Compelling, honest and true-this musing about art and self-discovery, replete with pitch-perfect dialogue, will have wide appeal. Winter Town by Stephen Emond may seem completely different it doesn't have a lovey dovey title, the cover only has one character portrayed, even the synopsis (which is pretty revealing so I couldn't put it in my review) doesn't outrightly suggest a young adult romance novel. In our culture, we are surrounded with tales of love and happiness, encompassed by the idea that friendship works out for the best and that those six promising words, "and they lived happily ever after" are the only indication that you make now put the book down and have a final swoon. ![]()
