A few weeks ago I received a message on GoodReads
from a book blogger in India offering to review my book. It’s always wonderful to hear from readers .
. . surprisingly so when the reader is a recognized blogger. Book bloggers are inundated with review
requests; it’s understandable and typical to never hear back from them. Needless to say, Jan’s request to review my
book definitely made my day!
A voracious reader and talented writer herself, Jan’s
review for A Rose for Sergei brought
out some very interesting points. As you read part of her review below, please note
that “Sam” was the nickname given to me by co-workers.
Review:
“Throughout the book I had to keep reminding
myself that this story is not a work of fiction but a real life account, for
such was the writing. The writer, Ms.
Kidd, transported me to her world back in the 70s through her compelling
writing. Needless to say, the
characterization was perfect. She never
ventured into telling about the person that Sergei was before defecting. That is the best part of the whole book. She simply didn’t give room for the readers
to judge Sergei for the person that he was before defecting. Sergei and Sam are poles apart, yet they find
love. The fact that Sergei was a . . .”
“A
humorous, profound and simple tale of love and loss.”
Rating: 8/10
To find out Jan’s shocking discovery, skip over to her personal blog A L'OUEST (Post date: June 8, 2015). You will not want to miss her interesting and
humorous take on A Rose for Sergei.
Thank
you Jan (Shree Janani) for your wonderful review!
