review 1: Although ‘Apart from Love’ is a tale about love it is no romance-novel. More a chronicle of desire. An introspective read that covers, from the view-point of multiple characters some of life’s issues. Now I won’t go into plot details - They are in the book-blurb. I’m also not going to attempt to bosh out a review in a wordy intellectual way either. I don’t consider myself ‘well-read’ enough. Besides I prefer to speak from an emotional viewpoint. So here goes.I first read samples of Uvi Poznansky’s work in way of her self-promoted advertisements posted on social media. Initially I was attracted by the richness of her book-cover artwork and then drawn in by the caress of her verse. I found her words possessed a special kind of tenderness. Something I felt ... moremy own writing lacked. I decided I could use a lesson in regard to her rhythmic delivery of contemplative prose. The way she captures subtle nuances in glimpses and reflections. Or teases out emotions with a pause in her dialogue. She fashions both fleshly desire and clean naughtiness so adeptly. It wasn’t long before I was reading and liking every post. I particularly like this line from the book... The waves roll in, threatening to swallow us whole. With a roar in their widening mouth, they are leaping ahead, then lapping the sand angrily, foam on their lip. ‘Apart from Love’ is a leisurely read that allows you to enjoy the moment of actually reading. This is what I get from Uvi Poznansky, what I admire mostly in her work. When women are romantically depicted, enjoying a piece of chocolate whilst engrossed in a novel. This is exactly the type of stuff they are reading. Paul Douglas Lovell.
review 2: Lyrical best describes the writing in this introspective tale told through its two main characters, Ben and Anita. Their words and thoughts are vague and disturbing at times, and I felt I had to keep on reading to get to the truth or at least find a concrete explanation for them. Facts about their earlier years are exposed as Ben and Anita unload their emotional baggage, one layer at a time, but as in real life, the story ends in an unexpected way and leaves us with unanswered questions. An intriguing novel! less
