Title: lyrical Imagery -- the Jungle Enchants!
Review: This fascinating novel takes us right into the lives of the Harmston family and their home in the South American jungle. An intriguing array of characters unfold their personalities as we follow Cousin Gregory on his visit to this strange, lovable family. The jungle itself becomes real as the reader is immersed in the sounds, sights and smells of the bush, the plants, the animals and the river. And, of course, there are the shadows which move among them! Gregory, broken in spirit, seeks healing in this tropical retreat. We find that it permeates our spirit as well. A perfect read for a hot August weekend!The writing is so beautiful in its descriptions, taking the reader right into the jungle, that I sought and read other books by the same author. Unhappily, I failed to find any with such extraordinary lyrical power. I reread this one on a regular basis, usually in the heat of the summer.
