Product Description

Synopsis

A chilling novel of betrayal and sacrifice from the acclaimed author of Stone Baby -- shortlisted for Best First Crime Novel of the Year When her marriage falls apart, Alma turns to the two people she can always depend on: the Ems. Only Millie and Maz know the real Alma -- get past the piercings and the attitude and she's lonely, desperate for love and nursing old wounds. But this time Al needs more than the Ems can offer and she has to run from the painful memories Bradford holds. At her parents' villa in Spain a chance encounter with members of the mysterious CDS Foundation changes Al's life forever. Condemned by the locals as a cult, the Foundation seems to offer her a spiritual haven at first: the students are bright, open and accepting, the atmosphere a million miles from the heartache and betrayal of her old life. But under the surface lurks a sinister reality. What do the Foundation leaders expect from their students? What really goes on at their Gatherings? And what price will Al have to pay for witnessing the horrific truth?

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply fanastic, 6 Oct 2003
By T. Parkinson "t-hat" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has just seen me through a very tedious train journey. Joolz' writing style makes the book an absolute pleasure to read, by the end of the first few chapters you really feel like you know the characters. The novel skips along at a reasonable pace, all the while filling in background and setting the reader up for the twist at the end of the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Second Novel., 18 May 2001
By Robert Johnson (The Remote Parts of, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Corazon (Paperback)
This, without doubt, is superior to Stone Baby in every way. And when considering how good Stone Baby was, Corazon stands as a tremendous achievement. It's based around some extremely well constructed and well-rounded characters; the author's deftness in moulding the impressions of these characters onto the reader is stunning. Lies of the characters unfold in such a way that allows the reader to really empathise and when Alma is hurt the reader aches with her. As usual, Joolz does not let the story drift into fantasy-land. Never did I find myself thinking "This is just daft". Considering the subject matter it would have been easy to slip into Clive Barker-isms. The big victory of the narrative, though, is that Joolz doesn't hold information from you, so the surprises and shocks are all the more convincing, more real. Importantly, however, you don't feel cheated by the author. You feel cheated by the characters. Let down by them. While reading the final pages I had a knot in my chest, both for Alma but also for the manner in which notions of friendship, strength, faith and love are so astutely questioned. This is an excellent, intelligent, well-written novel. Not many of those about, either.
