A MUST READ, BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN!!!
What a story!!! Fifty years ago, I wasn't even blip on my mother's radar, but this novel certainly made me think hard about the political scandals back then and ask myself what secrets and skeletons do the people that worked for the government still keep locked away and how many innocent people lost everything because of it. I will probably never know, but I hope justice finds them. With that being said, this was an amazing conspiracy story with enough romance and suspense to keep me glued to my kindle until the last page was read, and left me wanting more of Olivia's and Bill's story, Judy's and Mike's, oh and Jesse's and Shelli's. I have to hand it to the author, I wasn't sure if I would love this novel as much as I do since most stories are of the young, violent, foolish, and most time gullible. That's not what I look for per se in my reads, it's just harder to find books with seasoned characters that can make up their mind in a split second, over forty years old, and can evade the cops successfully. Well, I found the proverbial needle in a haystack, and it was so worth the dig. Elizabeth is now on my radar and I'll be looking for more top-notch reads from her about whatever.
A masterpiece!
A beautiful story of love, loss, and redemption. I loved this story and was hooked right from the beginning. The characters were wonderfully done and the story line was engaging with a thread of suspense woven into it. I would recommend it to anyone.
Seemingly Ordinary People on an Extraordinary Journey
This is quite simply the most compelling book I have read in quite a long time. View From the Sixth Floor is very well crafted, appealing and full of surprises. The suspense kept me turning pages and the characters were so engaging to me that when it seemed to be heading toward an ending, it took another turn and I actually looked to see if it was near the end. The percent bar on my kindle registered “59% done” and my reaction was, “Good! There’s more, a lot more.” There was, and all of it satisfying, full of moments of worry about characters I had come to care for and moments to cheer when they rose to cope with crises.
One bet I made with myself as I sat down to write this review was to check once it was posted (I promise not to cheat but I am curious). I want to see just how many Americans of a certain age who also reviewed it took a moment to share where they were and what they were doing when they heard about the Kennedy assassination. I’m expecting a lot of people will, it’s a wound that left scars. I was a freshman in a Southern California high school French class. I remember one French teacher who had been in the underground resistance in Nazi-occupied Belgium as a boy came out of his class to ours to confer with our French teacher who was from Dallas (!) The words “coup d’etat” were mentioned with a certain anxiety. At the time I wondered if that was some kind of European, paranoid way of looking at the situation. Considering the way our society has been changed since that day, those words resonate differently to me now. Paranoia strikes deep (sorry, anything to do with the '60s brings out my song-quoting reflex).
In the predawn hours during a solitary ride on her ranch, Montana Freeborn collides with Seth Phoenix, centaur-turned-man and the embodiment of her psychic visions.
