Hi, everyone.
I just want to remind you that the free Kindle copy offer for Reunion: Coda is still active, but it expires at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. So, if you want to read my first novel haven’t snagged your free copy, you probably can get it for a few more hours. But don’t delay!
What You’ll Get:
In Reunion: Coda, Jim Garraty’s journey continues as he navigates the intricate dance between past regrets and present hopes. Now a successful history professor, Jim’s life is a tapestry of unspoken love, haunting memories, and the pursuit of emotional closure.
As Jim reflects on his high school years and the profound impact of his relationships, he grapples with the lessons learned from missed opportunities and the unpredictable nature of life. Through introspective moments and heartfelt letters, Jim uncovers the strength to confront his deepest fears and embrace new beginnings.
Reunion: Coda delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the enduring power of memory. It also explores the significance of friendship and the unpredictable turns that shape our lives. This poignant novel is a heartfelt exploration of the choices that define us, the connections that sustain us, and the hope that guides us on the journey of self-discovery.
What Reviewers Say:
Firstly, the writing was excellent. I felt drawn in from the moment I began reading and I think it helped that I was already familiar with the characters. I appreciate that his writing is incredibly intelligent and well done without crossing the line into being pretentious.
I thought the themes that Alex Diaz-Granados chose to explore were very meaningful. Lost love, loss in general, being stuck in the past/memories of the past are things we can all relate to.
I really enjoy the way Alex creates characters because they very much feel like real people. They have flaws and they have redeeming qualities just as most of us do.
I won’t go into the details of the plot because with books like this one, giving away too much can ruin the experience for other readers. But I will say there are some beautiful moments, some heavy moments, some thoughtful moments, and most importantly, the plot deals with the complex nature of relationships that humans have with one another. We crave love, social interactions, and connections, yet when we achieve them, things are often more complicated than we realise.
Overall, I very much enjoyed Reunion: Coda by Alex Diaz-Granados. I had high hopes for this book, and he delivered. If you enjoy a poignant, thoughtful, and well-written book, this one is for you. I highly recommend it. And if you haven’t read the first book in the series, please do as it will help you understand the plot of this one much better. – Pooja Gudka, Amazon Canada
This is a love story complicated by life. Jim Garraty is a successful History Professor who has tragically lost love and found love again. The story follows two timelines. One is focused on Jim’s high school days and his secret love, Martina Reynaud, as well as everything that goes on in high school. The second timeline is focused on Jim’s life as a professor at Columbia University, memories of lost love and a divorce, as well as a newfound love, Maddie. The switch between the two timelines is obvious and clearly stated and yet seamless. The two timelines are built upon each other in a way that creates a captivating story and the fascinating world of Jim Garraty and his lovers and friends. I should mention that there are surprising connections between the two timelines, serendipity if you will.
The story is touching and romantic, but also real and thought-provoking. I found the many subplots fascinating and insightful. For example, the story about one of his students becoming ensnared and bamboozled by far-right propaganda and acting upon it. That story was good on its own, but it also added to the overall narrative. Life is complicated and difficult, people will disappoint you, and mishaps in your professional life, as well as traffic, affect your romantic life as well. There were many other subplots. The book enlightens us on subjects like lost love, courage, disappointments, tragedy, integrity and forgiveness. Life can be good but never perfect. We recognize ourselves in the stories and it helps us feel and grow.
The character development is astounding, and the prose is beautiful and lyrical. The writing is of a very high quality, and the storytelling is epic. I read the hardcover version of this book, which featured a lot of black and white illustrations. It is far from a graphic novel, but I appreciated the appealing and interesting illustrations. I highly recommend this book. – Thomas Wikman, Amazon U.S.
After Tonight
Of course, Reunion: Coda will still be available on Amazon after the free Kindle edition offer expires; I have no intention of unpublishing my book! After tonight, Kindle Direct Publishing will revert the price back to its original $6.00 (in the United States marketplace). So, if you missed your chance to get my novel gratis and want to support an indie writer’s work, Reunion: Coda is available in e-book, hardcover, paperback, and Audible editions.
