5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A beautiful, thought-provoking novel By A Between made me cry; I went through several tissues. It also made me laugh out loud. But most importantly, Between made me think. I thought about life, and how our actions and circumstances - intentional and unintentional - affect who we are, what we accomplish and who we love and bring into the circle of our life.I thought more than I ever have about how we leave this life and what might await us in the between. I thought about how the people we encounter throughout our life might help us prepare to leave it, and how the love between friends is an incredibly powerful thing.Between is beautifully written. There were so many times where I chose to go back and re-read sentences and paragraphs, just so I could once again enjoy the incredibly descriptive and moving language.Read this lovely novel. Enjoy it. Think about life and the between. I know you'll be so very glad you did.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Killing Me Softly By Scott Meredith This lovely novel smoothly pierces the heart. I imagine women will immerse themselves in its resonance, as this book reflects their own lives back more poignantly than they themselves could imagine, while men will be riveted to each quickly devoured page for the open revelation of what is a woman's heart and soul. Can't recommend it highly enough. A novel like this (if there is another like this) highlights the modern shame that so few people now read literary fiction, never knowing the loss they suffer,
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A novel of hope By Story Circle Book Reviews A diagnosis of pancreatic cancer means that death is not far away. Even so I sometimes wondered if I was reading a memoir written by a survivor of that dreadful disease as I read Debra Samson's novel, Between. Samson's writing is that personal and immediate.She tells the story of Barbara Sue Herbert, whose deadened spirit, devalued self image, and unhappy marriage, made her feel dead long before pancreatic cancer threatened her life. Alone and miserable she calls on her close friend from junior high, Carolyn, who offers to let her come to her Florida home so she'll have a peaceful place to die.Barbara leaves a successful career teaching physical therapy students at Columbia University. But when she leaves for Florida, she takes a writing project, a manual about what has and has not worked in training from the point of view of students, teachers, and patients. It will be her gift to the career that set her free from her deadly marriage. So ironic that physical therapy cannot eliminate the deadly path of cancer as it eats away at Barbara's cells and organs, introducing excessive pain that can only be controlled by morphine and drains her life away.Barbara's new location and her treasured friend, Carolyn, breathe more life into her than chemo or any other medical treatment. Carolyn's home is an oasis, a place where she's surrounded by the peace and beauty she's been seeking for years. Even Carolyn's husband lends his support, and Barbara is surrounded with love, peace, and joy, as well as a regretful ex, as she progresses through the end stages and into the next world.We should all be this lucky, if the word lucky can even be used to refer to a story about dealing with cancer. Between records Barbara's journey into peace. That's a subject that will interest almost anyone who's ever lost a loved one or been threatened with a debilitating and/or deadly disease.Bodies die, but spirits cans thrive even under arduous circumstances. Samson explores hope and help for the dying in this well-researched book. No one has ever been able to come back from the dead to report on the experience of dying, but Samson comes close as she combines her knowledge take from Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Buddhist philosophy, and her own interpretations and observations.This is a story about the power of friendship, love, trust, and...yes...illness. Based on a true story, it's about how all of these factors can change us and move us forward on our journey. As I mentioned earlier, I felt like I was inside a memoir of a woman trying to justify her life and experiences as I read the early chapters, but the further I got into the book, the more I felt that a little whininess and self-justification made Barbara more real. If she'd been uncomplaining from the start, we wouldn't have appreciated her growth.Between contains hope, inspiration, and triumph. Barbara is portrayed in an authentic, intelligent, heartfelt manner. If literature allows us to explore our uncertainties and try on other people's lives, then Samson's book is definitely literature.by B.
