This is the Mask: A Book Blog

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Muse for the ARC of Laura Resau’s “The River Muse.” It is much appreciated!

In “The River Muse,” Laura Resau paints a gorgeous canvas of love, life, resilience, and courage, all dusted with a touch of magic.
Callie and her daughter escape an abusive man and find refuge in a small town in France. The townsfolk quickly claim Callie and her daughter as one of their own, and Callie’s courage is buoyed by both the community and Nature itself.
This book got me hooked at the very beginning. Laura Resau’s storytelling is beautiful, her scenes lush with color and scent. Callie’s character is every woman who has persevered in the face of adversity and found the strength and courage to believe in herself.
“The River Muse” is storytelling at its finest. If you are a fan of Alice Hoffman or Sarah Addison Allen, you will be a fan of Laura Resau.
