The Canuck! (Canadian ex-pat here!) Canadian characters tend to receive a lot of digs in American fiction so thank goodness that didn’t happen here. An example from I Thirst – “Parting with such sweet sorrow, dude!” She seems a lot like me in a lot of ways so I immediately related to her. I used to mix dated and modern phrasing until it drove everyone crazy. I would say Gina Marinello-Sweeney succeeded in combining that and an upbeat POV voice into a story that could’ve so easily become precocious. Rebecca’s POV is especially fun for me because she sounds so much like me a few years ago. The sort of mystical style of story is very, very hard to do well.
When unexpected circumstances in the real world throw their lives in disarray, it will be up to Rebecca to find the true meaning of “Intermission” before the curtain closes on the final act. Yet, as the story progresses, events remain ever more shrouded in mystery. With “Intermission”, the single word in that mysterious note, as inspiration, the two writers embark on an incredible journey to a new world in the form of a story that will ultimately parallel their own lives. When she meets Peter, a young student from Canada who seems somehow to understand her from the start, her perception changes. She is a Dreamer, living in a world of poetry intermixed with the antics of her unique family and eccentric best friend Adriana. Twenty-year-old Rebecca Veritas is used to being different, but has never felt extraordinary. Readers will delight in their encounter with characters old and new in this suspenseful conclusion to The Veritas Chronicles, a story of humanity, forgiveness, and healing that serves as a timeless reminder that the simple intermissions that give life meaning may never be cast aside.Synopsis: When Rebecca receives a mysterious note from an unknown source, she has no idea how it will change her life.
