sisterhood bonding in new mexico, mapson's best novel by far
Rating  (5)
Date: 2001-12-12
New mexico and californai are the setting for this beautiful novel tracing the loves and lives of the two wilder sisters. One is a 35 year old US semi Bridget type and the other is a 40 yr old widow who fall for her boss, a vet.
Reading a novel like this defines my belief in the relaxation of reading and i could not put it down. mapson has an art of making you really care what happens to her characters and the american locations are described with an evocation that made me feel, like watching 'Northern exposure" i wanted to live in that small town in New mexico.

A warmly written, full bodied story

Ms. Mapson's talent continues to expand. How nice that it doesn't have to rush from crisis to crisis to grab the reader's attention. The charatcters are well developed and multi-dimensional. The comment one reader made about it being the "thinking woman's Danielle Steel" is really too trite. This book is much fuller, and I didn't feel my emotions were being manipulated by the story.

A marvelous book full of love, hope and grace

I have read all of Jo-Ann Mapson's books and this is one of the best. She is a wonderful writer who never disappoints me with her stories that truly show the hearts of women. Her women are real and their situations familiar to any woman who has loved a man, a parent, a sibling, a horse or a dog. She gets better and better with each book and I can't wait for each one to come out. I always buy her in hardback because I cannot wait for the paperbacks to come out. I would like to go on a trail ride with her just to hear where some of her marvelous plots come from. I hope she continues to give us more literate, articulate, inspiring and heartful novels. Thanks, Ms. Mapson, for continuing to gift us with your work.

The Thinking Woman's Danielle Steele
Rating  (1)

Note to Mapson: Independent women do not base their lives around men. Every woman in this book gauges her reaction in regard to the Y chromosome. I suppose it's an improvement on the Harlequin genre, but not by much.

sexy characters over 25! Over 30 even!

I love the Wilder Sisters for the great, warm writing, the characters one really cares about, the luminous setting in the last toehold of old New Mexico, and--especially--the sexy sex between adults of a certain age. Bravo Jo Ann Mapson. What a great storyteller.
