Linda’s Book Obsession Reviews “Those People Behind Us”” by Mary Camarillo, She Writes Press, 10/10/23, On Tour with Suzy Approved Book Tours

Mary Camarillo, the Author of “Those People Behind Us,” has written a unique and thought-provoking novel. The genre for this novel is Fiction, and the timeline is 2017 in Wellington Beach, California. The author vividly describes her dramatic characters as complex, complicated, flawed, and dysfunctional. The characters in this neighborhood setting are diverse people with their own emotional problems, issues, tragedies, prejudices, and political points of view. Their town is also affected by politics, economics, and diversity. Although these neighbors have differences and strong opinions about each other, they are also connected through different avenues.

I love how the author discusses the importance of acceptance, communication, and forgiveness. The author also mentions the importance of family, friends, neighbors, compassion, empathy, and hope. I recommend this intriguing novel for others.
