BELINDA by Mark Zvonkovic - Spotlight & Giveaway
Set in the conference rooms of a white-shoe Houston law firm and the stunning coastline of Baja California, Belinda is the story of a woman’s bravery and resourcefulness at the end of her brilliant career. Her decision to fight her firm’s men in suits who demand her retirement is called into question when a man once her lover appears after a long unexplained absence.
Against a backdrop of romance and legal drama, the novel explores questions about love, the law, and the anxious precipice of life change. Is it ever too late to be swept away by romance? Can true justice ever be attained when the law’s practitioners are corrupt? And when your work is what defines you, what’s left after retirement? During a week of surprises and abstruse events, Belinda sees the once presumed greatness of her life flicker as she forces the moment for her decision to a crisis.
BELINDA blends genres and defies expectations. Justice, purpose and legacy are at the heart of Zvonkovic's novel.

My experience with a lawyer was for my divorce and it turned out to be very successful. He was a well-known and respected trial lawyer and a friend of my sister. I think he took my divorce as a favor to her.

ReplyDeleteHad a good experience recently - enough to send him more business - but unfortunately when I went back a short time later with a question about his paperwork, he acted like I was bothering him. No money, no interest, I guess. Now I no longer have faith in him to refer others or for my own needs.
ReplyDeleteNo real interaction just when I have been in Jury Duty. This book sounds like a great read. Thank you for the chance. aliciabhaney(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
