The Eclipse Dancer by Laura Koerber – Review by Ashley Dover

The Eclipse DancerThe Eclipse Dancer by Laura Koerber
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Eclipse Dancer is a story woven around memories. The story begins with Andy sitting in the yard smoking a cigarette and enjoying the momentous occasion of a total solar eclipse. Andy finds herself caught in the moment, and she lets herself free to enjoy the solitude of the eclipse and the dance of the eclipse. A dance she learned about when she was a teenager here in Allenburg, Iowa.

Andy is back home where it all started…where she learned who/what she really is. As Andy assists her mother in the final days of her life, the memories of her childhood and teenage years take her down memory lane building into a lovely story about the coming of age and discovering who you were and how you came to be that way and why.

Laura Koerber carefully crafts this story as she weaves through Andy’s present-day and her time as a child and then into her teenage years. The imagery used in the writing creates a story that you can see as a reader. Though the material in the story was not of my usual preference I did enjoy reading the book.
