I'm not so sure I like the sound o...Hi Sandra,<br /><br />I'm not so sure I like the sound of OA (older adult). I can see why YA fiction has a category all its own, however once you become an adult reader, surely you are considered wordly enough to be able to make the choices about what you read. When do you suddenly hit that marker which says that adult fiction is just that bit too risque and you need to have 'nice' books to read to see out your days!!<br /><br />Having said all that, for such a short book, this sounds like it packs plenty of descriptive writing and feeling, into its pages.<br /><br />You have illustrated that 'A new Dawn In Deer Isle', has two of the attributes I like to see in a short story; a strong beginning and an interesting midway story. I just hope that a conclusive ending is also on the cards - then this one will be perfect for my TBR list :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993930617464275848.post-7441488066970119642016-04-22T13:38:19.176-07:002016-04-22T13:38:19.176-07:00Definitely sounds interesting.
