Far From Here by Nicole Baart Book Review

Danica Greene learns that love is not constant, but there is hope amidst grief in Far from Here: A Novel by Nicole Baart.  Danica, who fears flying, marries a pilot, Etsell Greene.  Even being worlds apart in their interests, they build a comfortable life together.  As time goes on, they draw farther and farther apart, but are not aware of it.  Etsell takes a flying job in Alaska for 3 weeks and never returns.  Danica also finds out that another person is missing, a woman, who was also flying with Etsell.  This sets Danica in a whirlwind to find her husband and this woman.  Danica's world comes crashing down as she remembers her life with Etsell and also discovers a blinding surprise that she never fathomed.  Still, amidst the spiral of her new existence, Danica is offered a second chance to learn to love.

I was absolutely amazed with Nicole's writing.  It is brilliant!  She captures every scent, feeling and uses vivid descriptions.  I was entranced.  I was instantly drawn to the book because the story was both mysterious and longing.  However, I felt this book had highs and lows in the plot.  When Danica discovers her husband is missing and has not found him and returns home, she goes through a very rough time that turned out to be bit long and tedious.  But Nicole uses two points-of-view in alternating chapters with Danica's thoughts as first person and a third person perspective.  This kept the story going for me.  She also uses several flashbacks that made the story alive.  I would love to read more stories by Nicole!
