“Schiano has a unique way of expressing emotion on paper, so much so that I wanted to read more of her books.”
Have you ever read a book that left you so full of emotion you found it hard to discuss its contents? It's not often a book renders me searching for words that adequately express my feelings, but "Painting the Invisible Man" has done just that.
Most novels I'd describe as easy-breezy reads. I enjoy them, love to discuss them, and then want to move on. But Rita Schiano's book touched me in a place I rarely disclose to the public. The main character, Anna Matteo, hits a point in her life where she must come face to face with her past. Twenty years earlier, her father was murdered and she ran away and closed off a part of herself. Now, Anna stumbles across articles related to her father and she's ready to go back and understand what happened the day her father was murdered….To make this book stand out even more, the book is based on actual events in the author's life….Schiano has a unique way of expressing emotion on paper, so much so that I wanted to read more of her books. ~ J.
