A Juggling Act,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rose Revived (Hardcover)
But a good one. Katie Fforde manages to tell the story of not one, but three very different women with this one tightly written book. Three women from very different paths start a cleaning service in order to make ends meet - along the way, the actress meets the farmer (and supplies most of Fforde's trademark humor), the repressed artist meets the successful artist (and regains her son), and the determined free spirit meets the lawyer (her family does supply a few laughs around Christmas). The road isn't smooth for any of them, but the lessons learned by all are wonderful. I highly recommend any book by Katie Fforde, especially Living Dangerously and Wild Designs.

This review is from: The Rose Revived (Hardcover)
This book was just what my title says. It was an average book with nothing that really stands out about it. It look four days to read and for me that is a huge amount of time. I just couldn't sit down and read it in one sitting. It was almost too heavy. At the begining Ms. Fforde tried to write in the "english" language, well for an American, it was very hard to read. Finally she stopped and from then on, I didn't have to half way guess what the characters are saying. The story is a little hard to follow in that the three characters lead almost seperate lives. The only thing they have in common is that they live and work together and that is not even discussed that much. It was much more like trying to read three stories that were interuppted and had big time gaps. I guess if you didn't have anything better to do this book would fill a couple of days.

Romantic Fiction with Humor and Intelligence,
By NJ Mom (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rose Revived (Hardcover)
Have you tired of the romantic fiction available today? Are you downtrodden by the saturation of emotionally tormented alpha males, and sexually promiscuous "virgins" in romance novels? Do you yearn for serious fiction that is also lighthearted, romantic, and encourages you to pull an all-nighter to finish? And upon completing, would your perfect ending be one that caused a slight smile of satisfaction in addition to a bit of sadness that it was over? Well, I believe Katie Fforde's novel A ROSE REVIVED achieves these goals. It is so refreshing to read a novel populated with intelligent and compelling "real" people who live ordinary lives yet intrigue us with their humor, their struggles and their dreams. And weaved throughout the book are three subtle yet satisying romances that will keep you turning the pages all through the night. I highly recommend this book as well as Katie Fforde's latest WILD DREAMS and look eagerly forward to more from this author in the future.
