Red Dream

Rating:
Summary: An articulate, literate, and thought-provoking novel
Review: Victoria Brooks' debut novel Red Dream is offers the reader a heady mix of erotic romance, political intrigue, and military history that ranges from the sultry streets of Saigon, to the elegant apartments of Paris, to the damp quads of Seattle's university district. Spiked with simple poetry evocative of modern song lyrics, Victoria Brooks is a writer presenting a very special ability to use her characters to engage the reader's total attention while conjuring up images of a country divided and its people caught up in irony, heartbreak, fear, hope, and uncertainty. Red Dream is an articulate, literate, thoughtful and thought-provoking novel from beginning to end.
