Review of Hattie Vavaseur
[Following is a volunteer review of "Hattie Vavaseur" by M. Rebecca Wildsmith.]
The magnificent Ms. Vavaseur had far too much pride to admit that she indeed had no idea what situation she had found herself in. The intelligent Hattie Vavaseur has finally lost it and is a slave to dementia. She could, however, add some puzzle pieces together, but the mansion she presently occupies is a complete mystery to her. Her new room has become her "hell" because it’s painted rosy pink, which she loathed due to her memory of her uncle and aunt before they passed away. The mansion itself doesn't belong to her, either, even though she had inherited enough from her parents to afford one of her own. The master of this mansion was also no delight. One morning her chauffeur took her to an appointment to see the idiosyncratic occultist, Vamelda, contrary to her will, but what had started as an enemy soon became her friend as Vamelda had the answers to her questions and assisted her in her journey to discover her current whereabouts.
Writing a summary for this book has been the most challenging thus far. Each chapter had a twist or turn, and it's too close to impossible to avoid giving away any spoilers. I’ll recommend you give it a try, if you’re open-minded, as I won’t be able to go into much detail.
The mysterious objects in this story appealed to me. Explaining the many reasons for artifacts held by fortune-tellers and giving them a new perspective. There was also a reason for bringing the objects into the satisfying story, it wasn’t added just for an effect.
I liked that I had to keep the dictionary close by, as there were many words to learn. It’s written in a classical style mimicking the period in which it took place, which was the 1920s. This has expanded my vocabulary even further. The writer also created extra depth within a character by adding accents to them that created a vivid image of a person, for instance, Teddy.
This fiction novel covers a variety of genres that interest me, from romance, fantasy, comedy, and mystery. The climax was well worth the wait, and Hattie was the ideal character for every situation. Her character was quite well-developed.
The only criticism I have is that some characters would not capture my full attention and would leave and reappear throughout the plot, confusing me. However, it had no bearing on the story's excellence.
I give Hattie Vavaseur by M. Rebecca Wildsmith a 4 out of 4 stars because it was extremely well-edited, and there were no errors.
Readers who appreciate romance, mystery, supernatural mysteries, comedy, and classical literature will enjoy this book. I think this book is suitable for both men and women.
