MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW:

You cannot forget what was part of you for so long. “Confusing the Seasons” is the story of Einar William Coates trying to come to terms of the life of widowhood, watching as his children tear each other apart and his struggles to help them. A story of coping with solitude, facing the weaknesses in yourself and others, “Confusing the Seasons” is a touching read of life and its realities, highly recommended.

J. HANVEY:

I’m pretty certain, as much as I’d like to think I am insightful and in tune with people’s motives, I’ve never reached the understanding of the human condition Dan Cavallari has achieved in his debut novel. The narrative voice in his writing wields a deft omniscience, peeling back layers of the lives of the characters and showing the fragile weave of connections one often senses must be there, but, rarely sees with such clarity. This book will linger with me for a long time.

J. GAMELIN:

Cavallari’s book would make a great movie. Each chapter left me wanting more. The kind of book that really makes you feel for the characters and want to reach out to them. Written in a way that truly makes you yearn to be standing right there next to the characters and join them in their story. This book brings you into it and enables you to hear the crackle of autumn leaves or feel the bite of winter. So well written…def will read again.

ANGELA:

I picked Confusing the Seasons for my book club based on a recommendation. It was well written and I was hooked from the start. The characters were well developed and the story was an interesting mix of interrelated events from the past and present. It also generated a lively discussion at our meeting. I look forward to more from this author.

G. RUDEBUSCH:

Cavallari unfolds the emotional lives of taciturn northern Mainers in this gripping story of love, betrayal, and human limits. Like Wroblewski’s The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, the book haunts me with its moral vision of heroism in the confines of tragedy.

Got a quick mention HERE in an article about Facebook marketing. I’m quoted toward the mid/end of the article.

No one appreciates this more than freelance writer and photographer, Dan Cavallari. “It has been a great way to separate my personal identity from my professional identity.”
