The BookViral Review:
From its powerful opening chapter to a cracking denouement, Memoirs of the Senator’s Wife proves a riveting debut in the US Historical Fiction genre that far too often suffers from a lack of originality.
The best US historical fiction novels tell stories about characters achieving something extraordinary and here Ford uses this premise to not only explore political ambition and the twisted corridors of power but the divisions and conventions of race and gender too.
With an undeniable aura of drama and suspense, Ford delivers a stylish plot that’s brimming with cliffhangers and a narrative that benefits from perpetual momentum. Marshalled around a diverse cast of vividly realised characters Ford doesn’t overplay them but cleverly manipulates our expectations with the mood further enhanced by a captivatingly vibrant blend of romantic tension and shadier erotic forays.
At times it leans towards the melancholic, but in doing it allows Ford to explore the family dynamics that surround Estella and Xavier and it’s this that gives Ford’s narrative an authentic and urgent sense of legitimacy which permeates throughout. It also injects a welcome degree of social commentary and touches upon a universal truth, that irrespective of our standing in life, colour or creed, we all have the power to make a difference to someone else’s life.
By the end of Memoirs of the Senator’s Wife, it’s hard not to feel close to Estella. Feeling that we’ve been given an inside view of her life. And on this level Fords novel is a genuinely enriching read.
A powerful US Historical Fiction page-turner Memoirs of the Senator’s Wife has all the hallmarks of a bestseller and is highly recommended!
Stark Hunter demonstrates anti-poetry with a twist in his new Opus ‘The Pink Oleanders’, which features the life story of the Moore family, spanning 3 generations and 35+ years. With reflective vignettes of somewhat ordinary scenarios brought to life and given flavour by Stark’s individual approach to prose. Each vignette is divided into snapshots of memory, creating a stand-alone insight into life against the background of the ‘Hoover Street House’.

Few Crime Fiction authors genuinely excel at successfully misleading their readers and revealing an unlikely suspect as the real villain of the story and those that do can invariably be found at the very top of Whodunit Bestseller lists.
Near Death Experience’s or NDEs as they are more commonly called are not a new phenomenon; they’ve been reported throughout history and yet few subjects create so much division.
We are constantly and enduringly fascinated with fictional accounts of parallel existence, alternative realities and genetic engineering. Films such as ‘The Fountain’ present immortality as attainable, whilst books such as ‘The Book Thief’ (Markus Zusak) explore the nature of death, in this case by death himself acting as narrator.
