I can truly say I loved it all but most of all, the journey of Syd and Maddie and their path they found to each other, the friendships formed and on a personal note, for me the acceptance that came for Syd from her family. This entry was posted in Lesbrary Reviews and tagged Ann Mcman, Hannah by Danika Ellis. I strongly recommend this refreshing and delightful novel. It is also packed with literary and musical references as well as evocations of mouth-watering meals and good wines. It is wonderfully written: the vocabulary is subtle and precise, the tone playful and the dialogues are well-crafted. Jericho is an exciting début novel with unforgettable main characters and a fine cast of supporting characters. The two women meet by chance, a friendship develops but when friendship turns into love, both women need to confront their own fears and anxieties. Falling in love with a woman is certainly not on her agenda. Syd is running away from a failed marriage and has no precise plans about her future. Syd (Margaret) Murphy is relocating to Jericho where she has an eighteen-month contract to set up and run a new library while Maddie has moved back there to take over her deceased father’s medical practice. Jericho is a romantic story between two women, Maddie and Syd, set in rural Virginia. I went on until I could no longer keep my eyes open something which incidentally had not happened to me since I first read Pride and Prejudice during my college years. Thanks to the Kindle app on the iPad, I was able to read a sample of the book and got hooked immediately.
I had never heard of the author but the comments on Amazon and Goodreads made me want to read it. Looking for inspiration and new ideas last year, I googled a few key words and came across raving reviews of Jericho by Ann McMan.
