Seeking the Forbidden

More than anything, this brought to mind Maupin's "Tales of the City", both in style and subject. A simple, easy, engaging story told about the curious, tedious, bizarre life of a San Franciscan in the 1950s. A glorious read, particularly for City folk, but with an ending meant to tempt you into the sequel which instead leaves it feeling unfinished.

I found that Ms Johnson is a realistic story teller, telling it the way it was for women on their own in the fifties. Many women can relate to her story. Some know the story first hand and others wish that their younger days were that exciting.

I found this book to be well written and I couldn't put it down, I cant wait to buy her other books that are coming out. i would recommend this book to anyone,

Seeking the Forbidden is a well written account of young women coming of age in the 50's. The stories are believable, humorous and nostalgic for readers who lived during those years.The refreshing aspect of Pheather Johnson's style is her knack to touch on "forbidden" subjects with a subtle breakthrough of a prim manner. It's so "fifties"...and a joy to read!The only drawback to the book are multiple typos and slipshod editing for incorrect spelling and grammar. Toward the end of the book, errors increased. Hopefully with her next book, the publishers/editors will be more careful to present a top quality product. This writer's talent deserves a more polished look! I look forward to more and more from Pheather Johnson!
