Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

The Green House by Dan Lawton is the story of a man’s life as portrayed through his deep love for his soulmate and wife, Miriam, and the symbolism of the green house. The man, Girard, carries burdens from his past and is struggling with a new interconnected tragedy that life has unexpectedly thrown him. The only place in which he finds peace in these moments is in his green house.

This novel illustrates both the beauty and pain that is attached to life and death. Secrets and meaning are the foundation of this green house, which he reveals to the reader at a slow, yet fitting, pace as the novel unfolds. The author compels the reader with the botanical imagery and depth of the story. He also draws us in by making us feel connected and empathetic towards Girard through his descriptive narration. He enables us to visualize Girard’s emotions using imagery from the green house and meaning from the flowers he puts out each day of the week. Although the story surrounds past trauma, it is underlined with the hope of second chances and powers connected to something larger. The story can be dark and potentially triggering at times, but it’s appropriate to the context. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an introspective and illustrative read with surprising discoveries and touching moments.

Sublime Line: “A beautifully written story of love, loss, relationships, and pain, described with powerful imagery and hidden meanings.”
