Par	Anshuman B (Mumbai, India) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Man, Woman, and Child (Hardcover)

This book by Eric Segal speaks of a huge sacrifice by a
woman. Man, Woman and Child touches upon the right emotions.
He brings out the characters into life-like forms.

The story protrays a very difficult situation brought about
on a family but a mistake in the past. It takes us on a
journey through this situaion as the family faces it. Eric
Segal goes on to describe the frustrations felt by each
member of the family, and how they overcome the problem.

All in all, it's a very touching story which brings out a
host of emotions in its readers. A great story about the
forgiving capability of a woman to save her family.

I thoroughly enjoyed each page and by the end I was emotionally drawn out by the book.

Par	Aletheia Tamewitz (Pittsburgh, PA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Man, Woman, and Child (Paperback)

Though this story was interesting and kept me turning pages, I found Bob, the protagonist, difficult to sympathize with. He deeply loves his wife, yet he gives no good reason for having been unfaithful to her. Segal seems to want the reader to believe that Bob is a good man who has only been unfaithful this one time (an interlude that lasted for a few days rather than a more excusable single crazy incident), but how is the reader supposed to reconcile his supposedly honest nature and passionate love for his wife with his actions? Perhaps this novel is supposed to draw sympathy and understanding for human weakness, but what it actually ends up doing is chipping away at the reader's faith in true love by saying that even the most in-love of couples would cheat if it were unlikely they would ever be caught.
