Dune Road – A Novel by Jane Green – Book Review
People who are wide readers of “chick lit” will surely love the new novel by Jane Green, Dune Road. If you haven’t already known, Jane Green is considered to be the founders of the genre, and making it a big hit today. She started writing in 2000, and her novels, the most noteworthy of which is The Beach House, are in the New York Times Bestseller list in 2008.
Her latest novel Dune Road is a must-read novel for a number of reasons, some of which I will gladly share, but without spoiling the plot or the story. For instance, the story is set in a beach community somewhere in Connecticut. For this reason, many people will find it perfect to read at the beach during summer. It’s a light and easy read set in the perfect location for the perfect season.
Another reason is that Dune Road features interesting characters. The protagonist is a single mom working for a reclusive novelist. The novelist is excruciatingly reclusive and very famous, and has a number of followers for his work. When our single mom accidentally finds out about a secret kept by the novelist for years, the fun begins to start. It’s definitely one of those chick lit novels that will get you laughing at crying over and over again up to the last page.
One of the reasons why Dune Road and Jane Green are loved by a lot of people is that they, especially the women, relate to the characters in the book presented by the author. They could easily be you, or someone close to you like your mom, best friend, or sister.
The familiarity, humor, and the adventures that Jane Green sets out for her characters and audience is what makes her and Dune Road a must-read by everyone. However, the book is still set to be released next month so I suggest you get pre-order if you want to secure a copy of Dune Road.
