Ophelia's Muse by Rita Cameron
5.0
I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
For the past several months, I've been burned out on everything literature related. I suppose that's what happens when you write and release two books in less than a year and a half. I've forced myself to read, of course, because I feel it is important, but it's been more of a chore than a leisurely activity.
Ophelia's Muse helped me remember why I love reading. For the first time in almost a year, I found myself staying up late to read and experiencing serious withdrawal when I had to put the book aside to attend to adult responsibilities.
Rita Cameron's prose is heartbreakingly beautiful and draws the reader in almost immediately. She takes artistic license with the details of the characters' lives, but does so in a delicate, responsible way. I was surprised to learn this was a debut novel and hope to see a new title by Cameron out soon!
