Title: The Prologue is Past
Product review: I almost didn't get beyond the prologue. Never before had I read such a horrifying depiction of sick bestiality. But something told me to read on. I'm glad I did.Dania Deschamps' first novel, "Thirst," is about much more than evil and mental illness. It is about a family's love and loyalty, the devotion of mothers to their children, the rekindling of a childhood romance, and a young woman's struggle for professional respect."Thirst" is also about Key West and Deschamps brings Key West's sights and sounds and lifestyle to the page with vivid authenticity. She makes us care about her heroine, Dominique, and one hopes she will bring Dominique back again in a future novel.Dania Deschamps knows how to create an atmosphere of suspense and to populate that atmosphere with colorful characters. It is difficult to believe that this is her first novel. I look forward to her next one.And, happily, the prologue to "Thirst" is now history.Mary Beth BusbyWashington, D.C.
