My Review:
Mortal Weather: A Novel is a beautiful debut for new and talented author K P McCarthy. After reading this engaging novel, I hoping there will many more to come. He has crafted a story that made me feel as though it was my own. Seeing what Stanhope has endured and his grief, I saw so many comparisons of myself. All throughout the book, there were times I had to pull out the tissues, while others made my heart warm. I loved meeting the different people along the way and learning about each one, while watching Stanhope grow as a person. I enjoyed going on this adventure with him, finding hope even through the greatest of pain and heartache. I believe so many other readers would find this book to be relatable for them and feel a connection with Stanhope.
Mortal Weather: A Novel will be getting a very deserved five plus stars from me. If I could give it one hundred, I would. I highly recommend it for readers and fans who love to read fiction that keeps the engaged from page one until they have read the last. I would love to read more like this one from K P McCarthy in the future. He has earned himself a new fan with this one.
I received a paperback copy of K P McCarthy’s Mortal Weather: A Novel from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Many thanks for the wonderful review. The story took years and a bit of torment but you've made it all worthwhile.
