Title: Chapter 5 - Moments of Truth Reviewer: David McLeod

 

Can someone know about another person a truth that conflicts with his own morality, but not condemn that person? Can a person stop living a delusion that has become an integral part of his life? Can an entire family do so? Dolores Esteban integrates her love of history with the magical powers of imagination to address these questions in a setting that evokes emotions ranging from horror to joy, from hatred to love. This chapter is an outstanding end to an excellent story.

 

 

 

Title: Chapter 4 - Evil Revelations Reviewer: David McLeod

 

Compulsively readable and wonderfully wicked! Dolores leads us brilliantly through the twists and turns of human emotion. If you want to read "outside the box," this is the story for you.

 

 

 

Title: Chapter 3 - Enjoy the Sunset Reviewer: David McLeod

 

How can one "enjoy the sunset" when each night and day brings nightmares, both figurative and literal? The pain of rejection contrasts with the joy of understanding, and it all falls within a historical setting that is spell binding. Who but Dolores Esteban could make the Inns of Court so real to a 21st century reader?

 

 

 

Title: Chapter 1 - A Bitter Truth Reviewer: davey chase

 

I thought this was a good opening chapter because the reader gets the first taste of the character's normal world while at the same time getting a sense of the tension and a hint of forboding.

 

 

 

Title: Chapter 2 - Brothers Reviewer: David McLeod

 

The story is both imaginative and intriguing; the characterization is deft; the atmosphere is strong; and the suspense is sharp. Dolores never grapples with anything less than the greatest questions.

 

 

 

Title: Chapter 1 - A Bitter Truth Reviewer: David McLeod

 

Dolores stirs our hearts with a wide range of emotions, and reminds us once again that there is nothing new under the sun. We saw history unfolding at the Congress of Vienna in "Case Dismissed." Here, those familiar characters continue to walk through history: the Year without a Summer, a new-fangled steamboat on the River Seine. All this combined to create a reality that must be experienced. Brava!
