Have you had any books surprise you recently?
𝐍𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 is a book that took me by surprise. The premise seemed pretty straightforward. Will Ross is a geologist who is divorced with three kids. He has just signed up to help with a project that involves troubleshooting a dam in Turkey.
Due to issues with his ex-wife, Will brings along his three children, who are unhappy about going. It seems the project engineer is not happy that Will is there either. Yet Will’s scientific knowledge of what lies below the earth’s surface is crucial to the dam’s stability.
The story becomes a fascinating blend of science and human emotion. Will is working to repair both the subterranean spaces below the dam and the cracks threatening to break his family apart. I was surprised by how involved I became in this family and Will’s work. I was thankful for Paula, the young school teacher, who tried to make them feel welcome in this new country.
The vivid descriptions of Turkey’s rugged landscape made a perfect backdrop for this transformative story of natural forces and the power of family bonds.
Thank you @suzyapprovedbooktours and @geologistwriter for a spot on tour and a gifted book.
