If you're looking to read something short and sweet with
feel good factor and a subtle dose of karma, then look no further than this
offering by Talli Roland.
At around 20,000 words, Miracle at the Museum of Broken
Hearts is a short Novella, which, I imagine to be the right combination of
length and depth to the plot and characters, to make it a light reading
experience.
It is an easy read, perfect if you are commuting a short
distance, having a coffee break or waiting for an appointment at the GP or
Dentist. (It will take your mind off the latter...)
Without giving anything of the plot away, this book has a
comfortable ratio of conflict/resolution and the promise of at least one 'happy
ending'.
Yes... I would have liked to read more, and did feel that
there may have been more to tell. Having read one of her longer novels, I am
confident that, had Ms Roland wished to take that route, she would have done so
quite capably.
That said Miracle at the Museum of Broken Hearts, was a
refreshing sorbet, which cleansed the reading palette. Just what I needed following some of the
heavier reading I have done of late.
