Novel Description
When Bree Prescott arrives in the sleepy,
lakeside town of Pelion, Maine, she hopes against hope that this is the place
where she will finally find the peace she so desperately seeks. On her first
day there, her life collides with Archer Hale, an isolated man who holds a
secret agony of his own. A man no one else sees.
Archer's Voice is the story of a woman chained to
the memory of one horrifying night and the man whose love is the key to her
freedom. It is the story of a silent man who lives with an excruciating wound
and the woman who helps him find his voice. It is the story of suffering, fate,
and the transformative power of love.
My Review - 4 Shining Stars *****
This was my first time reading a novel by Mia Sheridan, I
read about her and her books but never picked one up. With excellent writing structure and the
steady pace the story goes by it was easy to get lost in the small town of
Pelion with Bree and all its residents.
This story shows and teaches us how a single feature of a
human can affect his entire life, his entire perspective of life and how others
perceive us too.
Being deprived of love and human contact other than his
paranoid uncle for over half a decade Archer is still learning about the basics
of socializing with people of his town whilst Bree escapes to the last place
she was happy with her family only to be mentally tormented by her past every
morning.
"I
want to be able to love you more than I fear losing you, and I don't know how .
Teach me, Bree. Please teach me. Don't let me destroy this."
This line is
so powerful on its own that it shows us so many elements and themes that
describe the entire novel. Forcing her way into his life with her quirky rambles
and traitorous dog they develop a bond that is so fragile yet so strong. A male
asking for guidance instead of being the fearless hero isn't something we see
much nowadays but this shows that they are and can be just as much filled with
emotions that can't be contained inside and need to be spoken out loud
"Loving you isn't a burden. Loving you is an honour and a joy,
Archer."
Got to love it whenever in a novel the three special words
are spoken expressed and felt especially when we the readers feel it too as
though it's happening it front of live instead of a fiction world. Mia Sheridan
has brought her characters to life by making us feel the same emotions that the
characters were supposed to feel, the honour and the joy.
This novel gave an insight into a new aspect of love that I hadn't
ventured into yet, with constant happiness coming into their lives yet the
scare of it being a dream due to a fault that can't be helped. Slight suspense from
the beginning but end with a Happily
Ever After, this novel is recommended to everyone.
