Angle of Declination by Doug Mayfield
Beautifully written, expertly constructed. thoughtful, evocative and rewarding. The characters in this novel are exceedingly well-drawn, imbued with doubt, humor and an overarching humanness that brings them to life on the page. The sense of place is no less remarkably rendered, especially the wilderness settings where much of the novel takes place. Angle of Declination is structurally sound, as well the authors deftly juxtapose the characters' personal turmoil with the tribulations of the Watergate era during which the story is set, and everything leads to an extremely satisfying and well-renderedconclusion. - Kirkus Reviews)
This is by far the best novel I have reviewed this year. You'll love this carefully crafted story. I looked forward to picking it up and opening it to read every time until I finished reading it. We rated Angle of Declination a max score of 5 hearts. - Heartland Reviews, (11/19/11)
Angle of declination, a navigational term, is the metaphor that propels this riveting novel. Angle of Declination will make you laugh, cry and urge on the characters. I highly recommend Angle of Declination to anyone who enjoys a captivating, well written novel. - Pacific Reviews
FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS FOR EXCELENCE! Values, ethics, forgiveness, and the fragile thread that entwines them create both the human foundation and the ultimate conflict at the core of this beautifully written novel. As the Mayfields so fittingly illustrate, nothing is ever as precise as the needle of the compass might suggest. - ForeWord/Clarion Reviews
