"When a novel begins by paying homage to a great literary classic like The Great Gatsby, it quickly becomes a game of comparisons, and in The Art of Devotion author Samantha Bruce-Benjamin delivers a worthy and captivating story that lives up to its predecessor...Captiviating....a riveting tale of deception and selfishness...The Art of Devotion is a revival of elegance and grace, reminding us of an era when all literature was lyrical, with a fluidity that makes it appear song-like. Samantha Bruce-Benjamin's debut places her in a class with some of the best literary minds, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose Gatsby was a clear sign of inspiration."
