Bohemia Receives Rave Review in Tossing It Out


In an entry entitled, "The Kind of Surprise That I Like to Get", Arlee Bird of Tossing It Out deemed Veronika Carnaby's Bohemia "one of the best of 2012--or at least my favorite of the year and one of my favorites of all time". In the glowing, 5-star review, he went on to state that "Carnaby does a tremendous job of capturing the spirit of 1960 and creating characters that seem real and likable." Read an excerpt of Mr. Bird's review below:

" So often I am less than gratified by books that I read.  Yours has left me satisfied and has lingered in my mind.   Readers, if you like books like what I've described here, I encourage you to support Carnaby and hasten to obtain Bohemia."

In Veronika Carnaby's latest interview, the author discusses Bohemia and more about her writing process.
Jack Kerouac’s On the Road was the first that truly peeled me eyes to the craft of storytelling. That’s not to say that others I’d read weren’t just as great, but after reading Kerouac’s best, it helped me see all the other works in a different light.

News - Read Bohemia Excerpt on Book Reviews by Dee

Read a brief excerpt from Bohemia published in Book Reviews by Dee, along with some background information on the novel and author Veronika Carnaby.

"I took to the heart of the town by foot, passing by the shingled buildings, wooden cross bridges, and soggy, leaf-adorned porches of New England. I just loved experiencing the newness, tasting a wacky flavor, bursting with the spirit of suburbia, indulging in the evening sunsets, blooming pine trees, and piles of dried-up grass, something which just wasn’t readily disposable in the city. I made my way down Main Street, the area of Nashua that pulsated with small town energy more than anywhere else."

News -- Bohemia Receives Favorable Review from Examiner.com

Just four days following its release date, Bohemia has already drawn positive responses from readers and critics alike. Read the latest review by Examiner.com's literary critic, Joyce Butler, who branded Bohemia as  
"a story of young men and women accomplishing their first of everything in a time when “firsts” were not eagerly embraced. “Bohemia” is a good read if you are looking for a ‘60’s nostalgia...Veronika Carnaby has been able to allow her readers a fictional view into the lifestyle of a few of those artistic and literary pioneers as they evolve into the artists whose work today would be regarded as “classic”.
