The Seduction of Water

Summary: Quality and Quanity
Review: This is a quality work from an author from whom writers on the best seller's list could take a graduate course in creative writing.
Most reviews tell of the plot and whether or not the reader found the characters interesting and if the plot was plausable. This review instead will inform you of the journey in quality writing that you are about to experience. The skill at which Goodman weaves the signifigance of fairy tales into the plot is masterful.
The main character's interaction with the supportive cast is not the issue. Nor is whether this work should be classified as a mystery, or romance.
What is important is that the author delivers a lesson to us all with the ultimate in creative writing. Only a master of it could organize and control this unique format and come up with honors.
I highly recommend this book to people who read for enjoyment as well as those who read to learn how to write. Savor the passages.Reread paragraphs as Goodman describes with exceptional prose captivating the reader right into the scene.
