Still Life

by Joy Fielding

Casey Marshall is living the wonderful life: wonderful husband, wonderful marriage, wonderful career, wonderful friends. Until she is hit by a car and left in a coma. While she cannot move, speak or see, she can hear everything that happens around her. And Casey soon finds out that some of the wonderful people in her life aren't so wonderful after all.

This book was interesting for the simple fact that it gives the reader a main character who cannot in any way interact with the other supporting characters. Casey is completely helpless, at the mercy of those around her, and unable to protect herself from those trying to do her great harm. For every person who has wondered if a person in a coma can hear, this book boldly presents a "Maybe they can" argument.

This is the first book I've read by this author, but she was recommended to me by others. I would like to try some of her other books.
