5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Read, I really enjoyed it.,
By Tory Lynn (Cedar City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arirang: The Bamboo Connection (Paperback)
From the moment I began reading the story I was drawn in by Melani, the main character.
D.K. Christi has a way of telling a story with detailed description taking her readers on a journey to places around the globe. I felt as if I were there right beside the main character as she described the places she went. The sights, sounds and smells of each of the places she takes her readers on is just the tip of the ice burg as she takes us on Melani's life journey from the time she was young to growing old. There were times I cheered her on and times I wanted to scream as she made decisions in her life that makes her unique. Each chapter is like a story on it own, a journal of experiences written, telling the story of a woman who finds love. This romance describes to the reader a time of complete love and estacy, to times of regrets and questions and back again. I really liked the way D.K. Christi writes. I look forward to seeing more work from her. Tory Lynn

Arirang: The Bamboo Connection Arirang The Bamboo Connection AUTHOR: D. K. Christi¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Melani, a young American wife and mother working in Korea, is the picture of the proper image; faithful, dutiful wife, loving, attentive mother and hard-working, dedicated teacher. She has a "friend" on the side, Dale, whom she spends her time with due to the lack of interest and communication on the part of her husband. But then she meets Jack, a handsome officer on temporary duty. What ensues with them is a flirtation with trouble, as they begin to sneak around to meet each other and spend time together behind closed doors. If word got out, she could jeopardize everything she has, her job, her child, her husband, even her household help. Should she stop because of those reasons or continue with it because her husband has his share of company as well? What happens when Jack's time there is finished? Wow, some women have all the luck! A beautiful son, an interesting job, a husband, a "friend" to spend time with when your own husband doesn't give you the attentiveness you need and another man who makes you feel what you've long ago forgotten. Being an enthusiastic reader, I can really appreciate the effort this author put forth in writing this book, from the plot, to the descriptions, to the over all feeling of the story. When an author puts in this kind of effort, it makes it easier to get into a book such as this one. Since I also have a very active imagination, the descriptions of scenery and locale really helped me visualize the idea the author is going for. I also appreciated the effort put into the technical research, like describing the various cultures, history and mannerisms that are encountered throughout the character's lives. Though it's long, this is a book I'd read more than once, just because the descriptions allow my imagination to run away, taking me with it. I give this book a very enthusiastic 5!

CLEARLY THE BEST ROMANCE NOVEL OF THE YEAR,
By D.K.CHRISTI (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arirang: The Bamboo Connection (Paperback)
Review by D. L Montgomery, author of A Nanosecond To Eternity in the Twinkling of an Eye . A tour of heaven and how the earth comes to the end of life as we now know it.
Book Reviewed: Arirang: The Bamboo Connection. By D.K. Christi ISBN: 1-4241-4776-X 487 pages, Softcover PublishAmerica D.K. Christi unfolds a compelling tale that has everything that you would want in a romantic novel: travel, love, adventure, happiness, pain, grief, disaster and finally how to live comfortably through the rest of our days on earth. D.K. Christi, uses her vast education, her many travels to foreign lands and her knowledge of various cultures to write this brilliant, seamless, love story. Melani, her main character in Arirang: The Bamboo Connection, is married, has a young son Brian and works and lives in Korea. She is not happy with her marriage but has made friends with Dale and Jack, who have given her the friendship and love that she so desperately needs. Melani, her husband Derek and son Brian take a vacation to various exotic lands in the mid east, that are described in the book with exacting detail; one can see in their minds eye every enchanting sight, smell the aroma of the food available in the various outdoor market places and have a tingling sensation at the back of your neck when reading some of the harrowing adventures that take place during the vacation and through the balance of the story. I found the book to be a tour de force that will be enjoyed and appreciated by readers of all genres.
