review 1: I read somewhere that Pepper Pace thinks this may be the best book she's written. Maybe...but one thing I know for sure is that it's one of the best books I've read this year and it's likely to stay at the top of my list well after the year is over. I read my first Pepper Pace book back in December and wow, I am just a fan. Her character development and storytelling skills are captivating and nuanced. This book touched on so much: love, death, romance, racism, religion, poetry, classism, genocide, loneliness, abandonment, independence, adultery,...and all that happens in between. Yet it's never TOO much. The book never seemed overwrought or overwhelmed by its story. As with most of Ms. Pace's books I loved the main heroine and her hero for their conflicts and differences. ... moreBest of all neither character ever comes close to being cut from the same one dimensional cloth that most romance novels are. Truth is Ms. Pace it's hard to see how you might improve on your skills as an author in another book but I sure wouldn't bet against you.
review 2: I usually love a good May-December romance, but I guess I am in the minority when it comes to this book. I just was not attracted to Tim at all. The way he was described as a middle aged man with grey hair and a slight belly was just not a turn on. Coupled with the fact that he kept referring to himself as an old man didn't help his cause at all. I know the man was in mourning, but the description of his appearance was just not a good one. I just couldn't see a beautiful 23 year old being attracted to a 47 year old man with his description. I just didn't believe their love story at all. I did enjoy Martier's back story though. Her growing up in the convent, then branching out and discovering herself as a woman, as well as reliving her past in Rwanda and attempting to move forward. It was a very heart warming story. less
