Beginning of Was poignantly tells Marta’s story as she sets out to build a new life for herself after her old one comes crashing down. Like Carols Shields, Szado masterfully gives us the small details, the quiet events that become a life. In prose that is understated and spare, she explores human resilience in the face of despair. I’ve read few book twice; Beginning of Was is one of them. read review

About Me:

My debut novel, THE DAY THE FALLS STOOD STILL, hits the shelves August 25, 2009 in the US and Canada and in early 2010 in the UK and Italy. Steeped in the intriguing history of Niagara Falls, the novel is being touted as an epic love story as rich, spell-binding and majestic as the falls themselves.

No wonder!! Your name sounds familiar!! Thanks for the friend invite. Are you working on a new book? Initially, I found the book cover wasn’t attracting at all. The girl “pasted” on the rock/falls looks so out of the place and unnatural. After I read Nicola Manning’s review, I borrowed the book from the library and finally I bought the book. I love it!
