Summary: Gramercy Park--an excellent book--a great read!
Comment: Jack Finney and Caleb Carr--move over. Here comes Paula Cohen with an excellent first novel which takes place in 1894. This is a wonderful picture of New York during the end of the 19th century which includes lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending.

The author has done an excellent job developing the characters. The plot grabs your attention from page one, and it only gets better. Paula Cohen has a unique writing style, which allows the reader to visualize all the events as they unfold.

Put everything on hold and curl up with a great book.

Summary: A Great Read
Comment: Gramercy Park is what I call a great read. It catches and holds your inerest; the characters are fascinating and the plot just whizzes you along. And you can't wait to find out what happens next. The descriptions of time and place and the writing make you feel as if your are back in time. You'll want to know what secret is Clara hiding and will Mario find out.A wonderful book; to curl up with and spend a day or two because you won't be able to put it down.

Summary: Historial Romance that's not the usual Bodice Ripper
Comment: Of COURSE there's a damsel in distress (Clara Adler) and a handsome Operetic Tenor hero (Mario Afieri) to rescue her. But this novel rises above the genre in its exploration of the consequences of sexual exploitation. The character of the heroine is firmly grounded in the Victorian era, not a projection of today's female as a character projected into the past. The Hero, while adhering to the genre's tendency to create men too good to be true, has some flaws that make him reassuringly closer to real life. The villan's character is a well thought consequence of pathological need for control and power. The supporting cast consists of characters that are well developed but who also remain within the mores and character of the time. An enviable first novel. Buy this book. It deserves a wide audience!
