Summary: An Inspiring Romance You'll Think About For A Long Time!
Comment: The Alley of Wishes by Laurel Johnson was given to me by a friend. After reading this story I can see why my friend was so eager for me to read it. Ms. Johnson's talent as a writer is second to no one. As a writer, she has become someone I will most surely keep my eye on!
The Alley of Wishes has all the thrills, dangers, disappointments, and romance of this time period. The characters are so well-developed and the dialogue absolutely captivating. I was spellbound throughout the whole book.

Summary: A Guaranteed Wonderful Read
Comment: I was genuinely moved by the character portrait of Ms Johnson's Beck Sanow, the seemingly dispirited, despairing frontline deserter from the American forces stationed in WWI France. Beck is memorable largely because of his eventual triumph over the emotionally painful scars and vicissitudes of his chosen course of action (my own perspective). Then, I think naturally complementing Beck's angst is the remarkably drawn portrait of Cerise, the equally scarred French bistro chanteuse [symbolically surnamed "l'oiseau" = "bird" and of course "cerise" is French for "cherry" = thus, two images of ready vulnerability if not properly and delicately handled]. I am convinced that the author is absolutely classic in her poetic lyricism here. It is no coincidence that together Beck and Cerise create a magnetized intensity: one offering the other vital dosages of hope and uplift. Their difficult love affair becomes the centerpiece of Ms Johnson's beautifully written story. The title itself is thoughtfully crafted to fit neatly into the overall flow of events; the result = a wonderful read.
Highly Recommended !!!!

Summary: Not To Be Missed Romance Story!
Comment: You know there really are a lot of wonderful new writers out there today. And I, for one, am thankful for that! I get so bored with the same ol' same ol' by the writers of yesteryear with nothing new to say. For the most part the more seasoned writer becomes boring after awhile. It seems to me like they change the characters names and a few other (small) changes here and there and then...YOU GET THE IDEA, RIGHT?
New talent like Ms. Johnson is such a welcome change for heavy readers like me. I loved this story and have little doubt anyone who reads it will love it as much. I promise you, buy the book, you won't regret it!
