Permanence by Vincent Zandri Tour & Giveaway

From Amazon - Based upon Vincent Zandri's most anthologized Pushcart Prize-nominated short story of the same title, Permanence, is the "Hitchcockian" story of Mary Kismet, a travel agent and grieving mother of a toddler who suffered an apparent accidental drowning. Now, all alone in the world, she attempts to ease the pain of her suffering by immersing herself, body and soul, into a love affair with her psychiatrist, a man haunted by his own demons. A tragic novel of obsession, dark compulsions, and madness, Permanence transports the ill-fated lovers from New York to Venice, Italy, and back again. 

First, I want to say how much I love this cover! It's interesting and compelled me to open that cover.  I've never read anything by Vincent Zandri before, but soon realized I was in for a treat.  Permanence has two characters, which is very off the wall, but made this a read easy to follow along.  Mary obviously has problems and with the way Zandri writes, you can easily find yourself immersed in their lives.  I was empathetic with Mary, yet I wanted to shake her for some of her choices.  Permanence isn't a long book but it will stay with you long after you finish.  A roller-coaster ride that has dimensional characters and star-quality writing, I'll definitely be looking for his books in the future!
