Unfathomable
Unfathomable. . . . . .is a tale about a woman named Laurence Donahue, a college art professor and accomplished painter, whose life is interrupted when she is kidnapped, drugged, and transported to a remote place in the Sonoran Dessert. Connected only by a chat line to a person or AI called Max she finds herself in alone where she is ordered to paint anything she wishes in exchange for supplies, which are delivered by the same drones that pick up the paintings. You will join her on a magical adventure into her dreams and subconscious mind as she realizes that solitary confinement has it's own rules. Not knowing if her visitors are desert sorcery-dreamers or figments of her own imagination, she journeys into her own inner world to process her dark past, and learns of a future she hopes will become reality, if she is ever released.

Not all books are the same. An obvious obviousness, yet we come to our reads with expectations, expectations not always conscious. Most novels conform in some way to hose pre-formatted conceptions. But every now and we encounter those which exist other to such anticipations, rewarding us with participations not expected, which grace us with an ineffable, and well perhaps even unfathomable, More.
Unfathomable is such a read. On the surface, a simple story, but, the but is rewarding, and most enjoyable.
The most intriguing quality of Unfathomable is its Realness. All through my immersion I not only felt right there with the Laurence, deeply familiar with her story, not as a tale being told, but a memory I'm privileged to share. Throughout my participation, I consistently refused to let go of the conviction I'm hearing an actual real-life circumstance unfold as it happens. A most remarkable perception, one I still have.
I came to be Facebook friends with the author shortly my reading, which, through peculiar Force-of-Circumstance, I came to read slower than I ordinarily would, allowing ample time to become good friends. And amazingly, I'm assured there's nothing but imagination to the book. Fascinating, I can't shake my conviction of real, despite the assurances.
Wild ideas stick easily to wild people, like burs to woolly sheep, but there they tend to stay, stuck in the fluff. Sensible individuals are more circumspect when it comes to the unconventional, knowing the radial tends to be a waste of precious time. How then does the discerning author convey such realities? Gently, slowly, with care, and exquisite ease. Rose is indeed like the Moon is this friendly reflection of power. Indirectly, calmly, but nonetheless influential, much like the quiet power of our lunar muse.
We thus encounter the profound almost without realising it's significance. The comprehension is unfolded within our awareness and its extension of our world is accepted without strain. An excellent accomplishment and Gift-of-Conception.
"Go gently into the glowing of the light..." comes to mind. Unfathomable is a Journey where the Journey is the Joy, the joy of sharing a recognisable way-of-living and its value, its excellence without needing to be spectacular, unusual or unremoved from the realness we all possess. This is the excellent Gift of Unfathomable. We come to enjoy a life which we realise we too could live with a few shifts of perspective and modifications of sensibility.
From the outset, we know Unfathomable has an ending, even from the back cover inplication, but, as we read, we have no idea how. and when it comes, the delight is real, we're moved, we're left with a deep feeling of satisfaction, a state of Resolution not easy to achieve, yes Rose has accomplished this with Unfathomable, leaving us complete, yet still connected to that mystique of the More lingering deliciously as a dear companion returned from long absence.

Enchanted with painting by Rose Moon in a Sedona gallery I was connected to this ineffable novel. With each page I was moved emotionally, provoked to think and encouraged to dream. A delightful desert read for this Canadian snowbird.

August 15, 2018I first purchased the Kindle version because I knew the author and was curious to see what her first book might be like. I enjoyed it so much that I now have a hard copy so I can highlight passages, and also get her to sign it. Contains numerous insightful ideas, an imaginative plot, and what artist would not to experience what the main character did?
