While many stories are quite predictable, “The Eyes of Horace Hollow” includes a refreshing amount of twists and turns. Such a delightful and mysterious narrative that left me reflecting well beyond the close of the book.
Jonathon Singer
This is a great story. I loved all the characters including Noir the helpful one eyed cat. The author really made the village of Horace Hollow come alive for me. Fans of Diane Setterfields novel, Once Upon A River would REALLY enjoy this book.
Barnett Elias
I liked the characters in Nancy's story; I thought they were relatable. The story felt like a folk tale with a new and interesting plot. The stained-glass craft was interesting as well, as it was incorporated into the story.
