Great new review of The Avenue ‘a book for a lifetime’

The av front new

Priceless!

A book for a lifetime. Couldn’t have asked for more!

“Up here” she pointed to her head, “We all are beautiful”.

James Lawless – I’m mesmerized.

Francis Copeland, a middle-aged man working as a librarian in The Avenue. It is a story about how things take turns in his life, how he befriends some kids in the neighborhood and how his whole life was nothing but a lie.

The Avenue is a beautiful fabrication of raw emotions, brutal truth, twisted relationships and the little things in between called love.

Gardening is like praying. You can’t do it without kneeling.

James Lawless has narrated the story like a poetry.

First page of it and it was decided then and there, that I’m reading something exceptionally wonderful.

I fell in love all over again with literature!

His words flowed in my mind as a river flows, untamed, wild and without any barriers.

Every time I held this book in my hand, I couldn’t prevent myself from smiling.
This is the kind of book which will have different effects of different people.

For me, it was all magical. I am still flabbergasted with the aura one can feel from a novel.

The author’s writing style’s beauty knew no bounds. Perfectly woven scenes in a refined and talented language!

The vanilla-like smell that I felt in each page of The Avenue is winning my heart over and over.

There is nothing better to do than to bury yourself in The Avenue, get lost in its heart-owning fragrance and be enchanted under the author’s spell.

His presentation has been so captivating that at no point you will want to let go off The Avenue.

I can bet that if you ever praised To Kill A Mockingbird or The Sense of An Ending – you are going to applaud it even more!

Verdict : I. Want. You. To. Read. This. Book. Badly.
