Atlanta a novella by Loreen Niewenhuis

Atlanta: a novella
Main Street Rag Publishing Company

ISBN-10: 1599482916
ISBN-13: 978-1599482910




Atlanta is huge metropolitan area divided into many sections like most major cities. Atlanta: a novellais a character study of people living around Atlanta, all with their own problems and successes. No matter where in the city they live they all interact with each other or are connected through friends and colleagues or meet randomly.  

Paul has agoraphobia and never leaves his house. Janine is a police officer who whole life changes in an instant. Chantel runs a pet store and Lorraine is just plain evil.  These are just four of the diverse characters in this story.

My Thoughts
There are a lot of characters and stories in this little book.  It is just a peek at a small snippet in time in these characters lives. Everything isn't settled within these pages, some conclusions are left to the readers imagination.  One characters life takes a very unexpected turn, one life is very unsettling and others make friends of each other due to their circumstances. 

This is a very fast and interesting read.  I was pleasantly surprised by how much the author packed into this novella. She has a wonderful writing style and I am looking forward to reading her book, A 1000-Mile Walk on the Beach - One Woman's Trek of the Perimeter of Lake Michigan which is patiently waiting on my To-Be-Read pile.
