Summary: Breathtaking read!
Review: I stumbled upon this book by total accident and set it aside for several months before reading it. I read it in four days! This is the first book I have read by this author, and I now see why it was a bookclub main selection!
The characters are memorable and and "real." They are not perfect-- like all of us, they are flawed-- they all have weaknesses and strengths, and this humanity is what makes them so unforgetable! The three Sylvander sisters are all very unique. Each subplot is fascinating, and the interweaving of the stories of the three sisters gives the book even more excitement for the reader. The passion and pathos of the story-- the pain and triumphs, tragedies and romance, make this novel so endearing and memorable.
Briskin also uses vivid imagery to bring the settings and characters to life in the minds and hearts of her readers. The locations are exotic-- from London to L.A and all the way to the Middle East. The plot is highly involved and truly fascinating. The characters are not stereotypical in that noone is "all good" or "all bad." I felt, while reading this, as if they were part of my family. I laughed and cried for them as they progressed through the story. I literally clapped and cheered in places, and wiped tears from my eyes at others! Walk, don't run, and find a copy of this book! If you like good literature, you won't be disappointed. I will cherish rereading this book for a lifetime! It's that wonderful!

Summary: One of the best books I have read!
Review: I'm only 15 years old but I have been reading romance novels and other books that wouldn't be normally read by a teenager. This book made me cry many a time while I read it which was about four days. This is not unusual but it made me think and it made me realize how much our actions can shape others lives. I loved reading her book and I am hoping to find her other books so I may read them as well. This story has a very good plot and I recommend it to others and maybe if you are a romantic like myself you get pulled into the action and put yourself in their shoes like I did. Because I have such a soft heart I actually experience the pain the character must be feeling in parts of this book. I loved it and hope this review will prompt others to read it.

Summary: ZZZZZZ... by M. Boucher
Review: What starts as a good soap opera novel turns out to be «sudsy-less». The characters aren't appealing, the pacing is slow, and the story is uninterested. Jacqueline Birskin is off of my reading list. Sorry, Miss Birskin, wherever you are...
