Book Review of Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands

Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands
reviewed on + 279 more book reviews


I'm a big Bohjalian fan so I read every book he writes. Just finished The Guest Room and was disappointed in his writing efforts. But I had Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands in my TBR so wanted to give him another chance. I'm glad I did! His writing style exceeded my expectations as he is the consummate storyteller. While I found the story disjointed at first, I got into the pattern and appreciated Bohjalian's masterful style. No need to tell you Emily's story as you can read the summary and even read other reviews on amazon.com. If you struggle reading this book because of timeline flip-flops, please stick with it. It's an engrossing story I hope you will enjoy as much as I did.
