Sallie Withrow reviews Asystole

Sallie Withrow recently shared her thoughts on Asystole and wrote:

“When I started this book, I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but the introduction of the protagonist was brilliantly done! It really set the tone for the story. The explanations for what was happening in a medical setting were perfect for someone with no real medical knowledge; I could follow along without question. I felt like I got to know him, and his relationship with his job and his wife, and the other characters involved. The plot was fascinating, I found myself thinking about it afterwards, and the possible repercussions of such a miracle! And as usual, just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, the world turned upside down to surprise me! Francis is a brilliant writer, and his characters are so vivid and real, and I look forward to more of his work!”

Reading Sallie’s review truly means a great deal to me. I wanted the medical elements to feel accessible without losing their weight, so knowing she could follow the story comfortably is very encouraging. It is especially rewarding to hear that the characters and their relationships felt real and stayed with her after finishing the book. Creating moments that linger in a reader’s thoughts is always my hope, and I am very grateful for her thoughtful and generous words.
