In this blog I am reviewing a book by an award winning book writer.This book is Not A Word About Love by Hana Goldberg.It features a middle aged woman (Maya) who has reached a point inn her marriage where she is looking for more.On a trip to a distant country she meets a stranger who awakes something in her soul leaving her on a journey and leaving her with decisions.This book has sensuality and has moments where you'll laugh,cry and just connect with the main character.Now this book was not my typical genre of book I would read but i stepped out of my comfort zone to review this book because I believe authors like this deserve to have their work put out there.She goes into great detail making you feel as if you are hearing this story from your best friend who is telling you about the changes she's going through.So if you like romance novels that are more on the contemporary side this is definitely the book for you.Don't take my word for it alone look below to see what experts say about it and also learn more about the author.
"Pure pleasure. Contemporary, flowing and fluid language. That is the greatness of Goldberg. She draws her characters with such precision it feels like you can actually touch them. I fell in love with the character as she grew and transformed from a spineless creature to a courageous woman. Goldberg's writing style is rich with nuance and humor, and while reading I found myself smiling more than once and laughing out loud up to the point of tears many times."

"Witty writing, sharp dialogue and clever metaphors. Thrilling from beginning to end without it being at the expense of a tight and elegant plot, with fluent, precise and effective language. A huge bestseller!"
Yediot Achronot - Largest daily newspaper in Israel
"I can see why this novel has been so popular. It's funny, sensual, frank, and very open. The nightmarish quality of some of the passages, like the jet-ski accident, contrast very well with the sassy humour and the dialogue sounds really natural. I'm really impressed at the quality of the modern idioms in it too. It's very entertaining and I really enjoyed it - sharp observations, and great humour... a cracking read!
