Forgive Me

Forgive Me by Amanda Eyre Ward

All of Amanda Eyre Ward's books are the kind that keep you up all night because you can't put them down. Forgive Me is no exception.

Part of the appeal is the story, but another is the quick sentences and staccato of her stories.

Forgive Me is about Nadine Morgan, an foreign correspondent who has gotten caught up in the nomad lifestyle of a journalist. After being beat up in Mexico, she returns to her hometown in Cape Cod and is forced to confront who she is and who she wants to be. She makes one last trip to South Africa to complete a story that has been following her, her entire career.

I stayed up until 2:30 reading this last night, so be forewarned. Once you start, it's hard to put down.
