Customer Reviews

Mysteriously compelling...beautifully composed...

This novel was captivating from the start and consistently kept me wondering. Hemy Lourde is a sensual, intelligent, unique character and her story is one that lingers in your mind. I highly recommend this book for those searching for the extraordinary.

A lyric story of a woman searching for her soul.

Jannice Deaner has once again as she did in "Where Blue Begins" gotten to the very soul of a womans' existance. As the story of Hemy Lourde unravels on a train trip across the country the reader is thrlled by the elegant prose of this astonishing writer. This book is one to savor . Thank goodness for the fresh voice of Ms. Deaner. A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!

Spellbinding mystery of a truth-seeker

Janice Deaner has done it again. Like the superlative "Where Blue Begins", The Body Spoken is a spellbinding mystery combining individual truths with the broader social issues such as sexism and racism. It takes the reader on a fast-paced journey of Hemy Lourde's life as she begins a quest for revenge after her family is decimated by an explosion and ends with frightening self-discoveries which change her life forever. Written as two separate, yet interwoven stories, the novel unfolds over a cross-country train journey. A brilliant piece of literature which will haunt the reader for a long time!

this was a very interesting story, it kept me spellbound.

it only took me two nights to read this book, I just could not put it down!!! I have read both books by this author and she keeps surprising me! I just can't wait for Janice Deaner's next book. This tale is compelling and surprising, with an explaination for "The Body Spoken" making sense towards the ending.

Not since "Fear of Flying" has a train trip intrigued me so.

"The Body Spoken" is a beautifully written story of a woman searching for her soul. I loved this book, from the opening sentence I was hooked on finding out the secret of Hemy Lourde. Janice Deaner's use of the English language makes this intriguing story all the more exciting. It is a book that I highly recommend to anyone who likes to read great books. It is a beautiful, sexy, mysterious story. Read it now, don't wait.
