The Half Wives
by Stacia Pelletier
the half wives (1/3/2017)
A stellar of a novel narrated in third person omniscient in the most profound voice of calm, truthfulness and forcing these characters to look themselves in the mirror.

The narrator's chastising voice moves the story along that the reader immediately judges the characters by their actions and not their words.
A haunting tale of two women in waiting for the same man, albeit an ex preacher and a child called Blue who wants nothing else but to be able to love freely her ma and pa.

A great read for book clubs to engage in and give voice, character development and reason as to why these characters are stuck in time, each with their own personal grief. grief that is separate, but intertwined.
