"Elegant and electrifying." Those would be my blurb adjectives based on the first 68 pages of The Septembers of Shiraz. What I noticed in the blurbs on the book's cover is the repeated use of "beautiful." This book is beautifully written without being overdone. Much attention to the small details of a room, the little crack in the wall that disrupts the mood for a whole page.
I didn't mean to mention page 68. It's literally where my bookmark is but now that I have...check out The Page 69 Test, popular with my Zoetrope writer friends, wherein the 69th page of a book is evaluated for how well it represents the whole book. Guess what? Generally, it does.
