Summary: A MUST READ FOR AVID READERS EVERYWHERE!
Comment: I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Clair at a signing here in Atlanta, Georgia. I was 1/2 way done reading the book then and enjoyed it. I have since then finished the book & I had to post this review. October Suite is written in the 1950's, which some may think makes a difficult read but this wasn't the case. The story grabs you from the very beginning & does not let you go until the very last page. It is a story about sisters, sacrifices, family, love, rejection...and more. If you are an avid reader, this definitely should be on your reading list. I am proud to say that my book club (Circle of Friends II) chose and read "October Suite" as our November reading selection.

Summary: A Fantastic, Lyrical Novel
Comment: October, a name she gave herself after her mother's death, falls in love with a man and ends up pregnant. Her problem, though, is that he's a married man and he wants nothing more to do with her or the baby. After delivering the baby, she decides that she's not fit to be a mother and she gives away her baby to her sister, Vergie, who's unable to have a child of her own.
This story, set in the 1950's, was one of my favorites of 2002. The writing was lyrical and vivid and the story was unforgettable. Maxine Clair has a style of her own and she tells the kind of story that's, quite frankly, missing in most of the other books currently out on the market. If you're looking for an excellent and different book to read, look no further than October Suite.

Summary: Beautiful story
Comment: I picked this book up because I was in the mood to read a new novel, and it just happened to be there. I had never heard of this book or Maxine Clair, but was more than pleasantly pleased. I am a 27 year old white girl, but found that I could relate to both October and Vergie and even to some of the male characters. I laughed, cried and was uplifted by this immacutate story. Ms. Clair is a gifted author who turns the reader into more than just an observer to the story. She writes you into it. I was so thrilled to find such a wonderful story that connects the reader to the characters in such a powerful, cross cultural/generational manner. Thank you Maxine Clair. You have renewed my love for reading.
