Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I will say this - these authors get a lot accomplished in not that many pages. This book will attract readers who enjoy the bevy books out recently with mysterious characters and those troubled with psychological and marital issues. This novel is a cut above most of this ilk as that characters are interesting and plot moves with speed and efficiency.. But something that is way over the top is that the two major characters (and much of the plot) is linked by love for a an obscure novel by Emile Zola. Kind of wacky. A review of this book says it is a thriller. It isn’t, although it tries to be in Part 2. First you have to get through Part 1, which is more than 100 pages. It bored me terribly. Sarah is delusional. At first her delusions are believable. Her husband spends too much time at work because he is having an affair with his secretary. Then Sarah meets Lawrence in the park. He is secretive. By the time you get to Part 2, Lawrence is not believable at first, but Sarah’s psychiatrist is. And sometimes you think Sarah’s husband loves her and sometimes you don’t. In Part 2, you won’t know what is and what isn’t believable. But it’s still better than Part 1. I cannot recommend this book. Linda's Book Obsession Reviews "The Woman in the Park" by Teresa Sorkin and Tullan Holmqvist, Beaufort Books for @Suzy Approved Book Tours Teres Sorkin and Tullan Holmqvist, Authors of "The Woman in the Park" have written an edgy, twisted, dark, horrific, suspenseful, intense novel. The Genres for this novel are Psychological Thriller and Mystery. The authors describe their dramatic characters as complex, complicated, quirky, suspect and dysfunctional. This novel has the slight flavor of a satire with dark humor, and almost a para-normal feel like in "The Sixth Sense". Mostly the author describes the setting as one of a "Gaslight" feel as in movies such as "Gaslight" and "What Lies Beneath" with Michelle Pfeiffer. Sarah Rock meets a quirky stranger in the park as she waits to see her Therapist. Sarah appears to be wealthy and lives in a building in the city with a doorman. Sarah is seeking something unknown to her. She fears her husband is cheating, and she is ambivalent about her children going to boarding school. This is a story in what appears to be may not really be. What is real? What is a delusion or an illusion? It is almost like Sarah is looking through a large glass window. A woman that Sarah met in the Park has disappeared, and it looks like Sarah might be a suspect, or not. I would recommend this dark scary novel for those readers who enjoy psychological thrillers. no reviews | add a review
