The Other Eden

I found this book intriguing and suspenseful. I liked the changes in time periods and looking at the lives of the families that had been intertwined (at times without even knowing it) over generations. The characters were richly described. I stayed up into the early hours of the morning for several nights because I couldn't put the book down. i hope there is another novel from the author soon.

I have just read MS. Bryant's novel THE OTHER EDEN. I was skeptical at first - concerned that would only appeal to women. I couldn't have been more wrong! Her sophisticated knowledge of music and the intriguing interplay of characters and plot captured me instantly and kept me reading. I have referred this fine book and the author to many friends - both male and female. The response has been universally positive. I look forward to the next book by Bryant. A reader in Rhode Island

Even though I have only read part one, I am delighted with this book. I feel when I read it , the way a chocolate addict must feel. When I finish one chapter , I am compelled to "consume " the next.I wish this book were in print form so I could send it to other friends and family.The descriptions on every page , allow the reader to be fully involved with the time and place of the story.Although I am not an avid novel reader, this time I am captivated.

This novel is absolutely wonderful! Bryant is clearly an incredibly talented author with an amazing imagination! She really makes you hear the music that flows through this novel. The story keeps you hooked and just makes you keep reading - until you're sorry the novel ends. I can't wait to read the next book she comes out with.
