Summary: Great reading.
Review: Except for some too-graphic love scenes, it was terrific. I really want an answer to the question, "Where is the promised sequel?".

Summary: Touching and intriguing; thought provoking yet sweet
Review: Full of details to vividly paint pictures in your mind. Captivating and hard to put down. Eventually I found myself pushing past some slower heavily detailed pages which the author purposely places to make you wait, shift focus and build your anticipation. I skimmed pages of lesser value to me as I had to move ahead and get back to Saylah and Julian. I too, thought the ending slightly abrupt - it could have been more blissful and built into a bigger climax. Perhaps purposely done to make you want to wait for the sequel. I came out here looking to buy the sequel only to see others are waiting for it too!

Summary: A Book That Truly Touches Your Soul!
Review: How do you convey to others the depths to which one book has touched your soul, your very essence? Ms. Davis delved deep within herself and pulled forth a novel that has the ability to not only be a highly engrossing tale of a young woman who is at once interesting, mysterious and indomitable yet on certain levels innocent and fragile but it also has the ability to make the reader take a closer look at what makes them who they are. The characters in this book come alive and make you want to know them personally. It is creative, fresh and in no way formulaic. I have read and reread the book and listened to the Audio version too often to count. Anyone who has the opportunity to read this rich, extremely well written novel and passes it up has truly missed out! I, as well as everyone I have ever come across who has encountered this book, avidly await it's sequel!

Summary: A story for the ages...
Review: I am lucky enough to have met Kathryn Lynn Davis back in 1985 when her equally talented husband Michael was our wedding photographer. I had never read any of her books, nor did I even know her name, avid reader though I am. Intrigued by her intelligence and heart, I started reading, and I became a fan. Her tales are never shallow, but are deeply human and compelling, with eloquence that draws you into every emotion. Sing to Me of Dreams is every bit such a tale. Saylah's struggles and the lessons she learns are woven beautifully in the historical setting, and yet they are timeless and valuable to all of us, and we can easily share her feelings. I've gone through three copies so far, and now protect my current copy as irreplaceable treasure.By the way, just a little note on the name. I was deeply honored when Kathy told me that she liked my nickname, Selah, so much that she had used it, with spelling changes, in her book. If only I could be more like my semi-namesake at times. *Sigh*

Summary: WHERE, OH WHERE, IS THE SEQUEL???
Review: I can only concur completely with all of the positive eloquent reviews preceding my own impressions of this beautiful, thought-provoking novel. I was carried away and found myself looking within more than once, connecting with Saylah's conflicts, and learning from her hard-won decisions. I cannot believe that all these years have passed and Ms. Davis has not completed this beautiful story - and it's reassuring to see that I am not alone in my anticipation. I will continue to search but am beginning to wonder if she truly intends to continue on with the Saylah saga. It appears that she has written some novels since this lovely, gentle story. How can we ascertain whether she ever intends to write the sequel? Does anyone know?

Summary: A Rich and Haunting Story
Review: I originally read this book back in 1996 and have since read it again. I loved the stories,the characters and being able to become totally emersed into their lives. I feel as haunted by these characters as the whole Ivy family felt by Simone. There are alot of unanswered questions and I am glad that I am not the only one axiously awaiting the SEQUEL. This book has stayed with me a long time, I can't wait to read more.

Summary: A Book That Truly Touches Your Soul!
Review: I plowed my way through this book, hoping it would improve. I am not stupid, but I never did understand why Simone left a wonderful man like Jamie, and I never did understand what made him so wonderful. Nor did I really understand why Jamie and Edward were estranged. Would somebody let me know these questions? I really thought Salah and Julian were somewhat shallow. I do not intend to try to find the sequel.
