Reviews

"The best measurement of a novel is how it remains with you. C. Paolo Caruso's SOPHIA'S EXIT STRATEGY is an excellent example of this. It is a compelling novel that continues to haunt me. The struggle of a woman trapped in an arranged marriage has rippling waves that affect many lives. There are scenes in SOPHIA'S EXIT STRATEGY that will remain with me forever."
