Date: 03 27, 2012
Prepare yourself for a read with as many twists and turns as found in a raging river. Author Salnikova produces a tense page-turner with her debut novel 'Quiet River'. She creates life-like characters to populate and bring to life the small community where everyone knows everybody's business but keeps secrets hidden in dark closets.The Collins family finds itself in the midst of a heartbreaking situation with the loss of an unborn child. Lisa's husband, Matt, wants the best for his wife and son, but has no idea his well-meaning intentions are being used against him, strictly for the greed and selfishness of two evil people.The conclusion of this novel will have you firmly in its grip as the elements of the plot appears before your eyes like the final pieces of a large puzzle. Salnikova has created a tightly knit story filled with emotion, love, and surprises.As an author, I commend this young Russian writer for two things; one, leaving her country and moving to America with her family, and two, for penning a novel set in this country. The challenge of writing a novel is difficult, but I'm sure even more so to write in a second language.I will read more of Salnikova's works and encourage her to 'keep writing and smilin'.LeeCarey-author.com
