Ebook About April 18, 1906: A massive earthquake rocks San Francisco just before daybreak, igniting a devouring inferno. Lives are lost, lives are shattered, but some rise from the ashes forever changed.Sophie Whalen is a young Irish immigrant so desperate to get out of a New York tenement that she answers a mail-order bride ad and agrees to marry a man she knows nothing about. San Francisco widower Martin Hocking proves to be as aloof as he is mesmerizingly handsome. Sophie quickly develops deep affection for Kat, Martin's silent five-year-old daughter, but Martin's odd behavior leaves her with the uneasy feeling that something about her newfound situation isn't right. Then one early-spring evening, a stranger at the door sets in motion a transforming chain of events. Sophie discovers hidden ties to two other women. The first, pretty and pregnant, is standing on her doorstep. The second is hundreds of miles away in the American Southwest, grieving the loss of everything she once loved. The fates of these three women intertwine on the eve of the devastating earthquake, thrusting them onto a perilous journey that will test their resiliency and resolve and, ultimately, their belief that love can overcome fear.From the acclaimed author of The Last Year of the War and As Bright as Heaven comes a gripping novel about the bonds of friendship and mother love, and the power of female solidarity.Book The Nature of Fragile Things Review :
I never enjoy writing negative reviews. I do want to give credit where credit is due. Susan Meissner made a valiant effort with The Nature of Fragile Things, and she did introduce me to some things in history I did not know. For instance, I didn't know mail-order brides were common in large cities like San Francisco; I usually find them in places like frontier accounts or frontier fiction. I also wasn't as aware as I wanted to be of Irish immigration outside of the Great Famine of the 1840s. So again, kudos there.However, The Nature of Fragile Things is not enjoyable, because it's not a story. I know I said in my last Susan Meissner review that I didn't mind telling over showing, and I didn't. But that was because the narrator was removed from the story by age and years, and was telling it as she remembered, with dialogue, introspection, and other necessary story tools. Here, the exact opposite happens. In real time, Sophie tells us everything, to the point of leaving out huge scenes or chunks of information and literally saying, "I tell" or "I told."No time is spent on any person or event, even when it should be. For instance, there's a great opportunity for readers to journey with Sophie as she raises a struggling child who is not hers--and may not even be her father's. But no, we're simply told when Kat improves or doesn't, or what she might be thinking, as opposed to what she reveals or what Sophie figures out through perseverance and love. There are wonderful opportunities for Martin and Sophie to talk, and perhaps for Sophie to speculate that her situation is not all it seems. Instead, Martin never talks, almost literally. His vocabulary is encompassed in one word--"No."Parts exist where the story could get interesting, like when Belinda Bigelow shows up and has an unexpected, visceral reaction to one of Sophie's portraits. When I hit that part, I thought, "Finally, this is going to get good." But no, from there, I only got more summary, interrupted by a different type of summary in the form of a scripted police interrogation. I was begging Susan, please, let me see and hear something happen!Overall then, this book is a disappointment I don't recommend. I don't know if it's a reflection of all Susan Meissner's work, and I know she can do better. However, since telling seems to be her style, it's going to be a while before I try her books again. in my humble review this is her best book yet. You did not actually know until the last page almost who was what and who was who. Made for good reading. Although the book there were hints as to things that will soon clear up and it kept you reading to find out. She is a really good author, not that I am a pro on saying who is or who isn't but I really like her way of writing and also like Nicholas Sparks too. They are both my favorite authors and they write completely different books.
