Writer: Sidney Sheldon
Genre: Fiction
A Sheldon book that I re-read a few days back! I have read almost all his books and I always thank him for introducing me the fiction genre. Previous to him I had read Danielle Steel and I thought I would never touch a fiction again.
The story revolves around the female protagonist Jennifer Parker and her complicated but determined life. The book begins when she is set up by the tactful Mafia to deliver a dead canary to a terrified witness which almost leads to her disbarment but falls sort of evidence when there is an honest enquiry conducted by Adam Warners. After that life takes a dramatic turn for Parker as she copes with the after effects and decides to succeed in life.
It’s the only Sidney book with a ‘not-so-happy’ but practical ending. I know one thing, I have loved this book and when I recently bought it I lapped it up in a single day. Sidney never gave me a strong, confident and vivacious female protagonist as Parker till he etched Tracy Whitney in ‘If tomorrow comes’. But this book still remains one of his most fantastic writings. Even critics would not argue otherwise!!!!
