5.0 out of 5 stars Heartbreakingly Romantic!, Jun 17 2004

This review is from: Maybe Next Time (Paperback)

What do you do when you grow up, in your adopted family, with the love of your life and they could care less? One woman, a child prodigy and now world famous violinist has pondered that question throughout her life. Never lacking for company, she nevertheless is always left with a feeling of "wanting". Who is it that she really wants - the woman she could never have or the woman in a long-term relationship? Sidelined by an injury, the violinist tries to figure out the answer to the question. Which woman does she truly love? Which woman would love her back? Will her decision place a long-term relationship in jeopardy? If she doesn't recover from her injury, how will that affect her future and will anyone want HER?

Karin Kallmaker is a truly talented writer who continues to treat the reader to wonderful tales of women as they travel the journey of life, love and romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense, satisfying read, Jan 27 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Maybe Next Time (Paperback)

Some of the reviews say that this book is hard to read, but my opinion is that it's got nothing to do with the writer, or the writing! The book has been nominated for a Lammy in the romance category and it deserves to win.

Maybe some people find it hard because it's real. No sugar coating. Sabrina Starling is deeply wounded. Her life has been seemingly magical but fate has been abruptly cruel. Sabrina, petrified she has lost her ability to play the violin, does something cruel herself, but it's not fate that gets hurt, but real women.

Sabrina's despair about not just her violin but her own actions is intensely moving. Can she somehow find a way to make amends? When you actually believe that you deserve the bad things that have happened to you, how can you possibly find happiness and love?

Karin Kallmaker made me believe it. I couldn't stop reading. Tears running down my cheeks at times, I ached for Sabrina to heal, to find her way back to her music, love and passion.

Nobody who reads with an open mind and open heart can't be moved by Sabrina's final confrontation with her losses and how she lets go of the most precious thing in her life in order to move on. I could feel the sea spray on my face.

What a great book. Karin Kallmaker surprises me every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Over Too Soon, Jan 23 2004

By

Sandy Owens (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maybe Next Time (Paperback)

The only complaint I have about Karin Kallmaker is: You can't put her books down once you start reading them and therefore it ends up being over too soon. Never has a book made me cry almost out loud and with such emotion. This book was unsurprisingly great therapy for me. Since I have read all of Karin's other books, I eagerly await her next one. Karin also has the ability to make you reread her books over and over like a great movie. I was already contemplating doing so with this book the same night I finished it. The lady is simply superb.
