The Lovers: A Novel
by Vendela Vida
The Lovers (4/8/2010)
The Lovers is a novel about an American woman, Yvonne, and her "travel alone" vacation to Turkey to escape grief & gain new friendships. This being my first review, I was sad I didn't find the book more enjoyable. Yvonne has unbelievable relationships & experiences which lead to an unrealistic ending. The tragic pivotal point is needless. It seemed the author tried to make deep meanings of Yvonne's life and plot when actually the book is only a "light read."
