Lindas Book Obsession Reviews “Rain Breaks No Bones” by Barbara J. Taylor, Kaylie Jones Books, May 7, 2024. On Tour with Suzy Approved Book Tours

Barbara J. Taylor, the Author of “Rain Breaks No Bones” has written a memorable, intriguing and thought-provoking novel. The description of the book mentions that there is “a legacy of loss, and mystical vision for a better tomorrow.” This is the third novel in an Historical Fiction series, that takes place in 1955 in Scranton Pennsylvania. The family saga continues, and this can be read as a stand-alone. The genres for this story are Metaphysical Fiction, Metaphysical Visionary Fiction, Sibling Fiction, Mother/Daughter Fiction and Historical Fiction. The themes throughout the story are secrets, lack of communication, Music and the importance in literature, the importance of family, friends, love and hope. I appreciate that the author discusses interracial relationships, discrimination, poverty, forgiveness and second chances.

This is a well-written story about the people and the 1950s in a community that struggles with moral and economic problems.The author vividly describes the lifestyle, scenery, plot, and the dramatic and colorful characters. There is also a supernatural feeling of living and communicating with those that are deceased. There are deep dark secrets, that affect the generations in the families. Some of the characters are portrayed as understanding, helpful, kind-hearted, and tolerant. I highly recommend this inspirational and captivating novel.
