review 1: I suppose this would be classified as a literary romance, although I'm not sure that's actually a category. It's not the normal kind of thing I read, but I know the author and have been impressed with her writing skills before. The writing is very fine, very rich, and expressive. The author really knows how to turn a phrase. The characters are interesting and the main female character, who is American, felt very real to me. I don't know about the primary male character, who was a Frenchman, since I don't really know any Frenchmen in real life. He was interesting, however. The story is about the relationship between Daisy, the American, and Mathieu, The Frenchman. It illustrates both the excitement of two strangers meeting and falling in love, and the difficulty of crossing... more those international barriers of politics and life style and history.
review 2: Sarah Hina makes music on paper with her tale of Daisy's trip to Paris, of falling in love, of learning about herself. The writing is full of depth and poetry, the story is multi-layered and served like a four-course meal, with delightful attention to detail. It's a story that appeals to the mind and to the heart and if you've ever been a woman in love you will see immediately that Sarah Hina keenly understands the knife's edge of love and the many ways it can cut. I took in every morsel of this book with the meticulous care of one savoring a fine meal, because that's what it is. It's not fast food, it's not cliched, it's not a "summer beach read". It's truth and beauty. It's the music of life. less
