A NUANCED STUDY
IN MORAL AMBIGUITY . . .
NEW HAMPSHIRE’S Julie Bigg
Veazey powerfully illuminates the awful and indelible harm wrought by cruelty
and loss sustained in childhood. A surprising true story of exile and
survival-at-any-cost, Jadine delivers a haunting account of the
struggle and eventual psychological breakdown of
a woman just as she reaches for redemption of a different kind.
REVIEW
“As in all the best crime
stories, the characters in Veazey’s third, psychologically taut novel are as
compelling as the plot twists. Take two orphaned children, enroll them in the
school of cruel knocks, and wait a decade or so. The result: a story that is
riveting, tragic, and inevitably human, a narrative that builds to a startling
conclusion as it makes us question our preconceived notions of right and wrong.”
