5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking read!, Dec 1 2003

By	K. Loftis "www.KimLoftis.com: Spiritual Fulfi... (the picturesque North Carolina mountains) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Too Much, Too Soon (Paperback)

I stumbled upon this book by total accident and set it aside for several months before reading it. I read it in four days! This is the first book I have read by this author, and I now see why it was a bookclub main selection!
The characters are memorable and and "real." They are not perfect-- like all of us, they are flawed-- they all have weaknesses and strengths, and this humanity is what makes them so unforgetable! The three Sylvander sisters are all very unique. Each subplot is fascinating, and the interweaving of the stories of the three sisters gives the book even more excitement for the reader. The passion and pathos of the story-- the pain and triumphs, tragedies and romance, make this novel so endearing and memorable.
Briskin also uses vivid imagery to bring the settings and characters to life in the minds and hearts of her readers. The locations are exotic-- from London to L.A and all the way to the Middle East. The plot is highly involved and truly fascinating. The characters are not stereotypical in that noone is "all good" or "all bad." I felt, while reading this, as if they were part of my family. I laughed and cried for them as they progressed through the story. I literally clapped and cheered in places, and wiped tears from my eyes at others!

Walk, don't run, and find a copy of this book! If you like good literature, you won't be disappointed. I will cherish rereading this book for a lifetime! It's that wonderful!
