5.0 out of 5 stars simple yet rich, in both writing and content, November 8, 2007

S. Draper (Berwyn Heights, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Black-Eyed Susan (Paperback)

I only read this because my mother gave it to me because my name is Susan. I was surprised at how much I wanted to know how Susie was going to cheer up her mother. I was surprised at how much I liked it's tone and style. It is warm and thoughtful. But very simple and straightforward.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Books I Have Ever Read, June 6, 2006

L. Mintah "Author of the Heart" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Black-Eyed Susan (Paperback)

Black-Eyed Susan is a book adults and children will enjoy equally. The seeming simplicity of the tale belies rich poetic images that took my breath away. The tenderness and love with which the characters interact with one another will make you feel warm all over, and maybe a renewed hope for humankind. The theme is also unusual for a children's book - Susan's mother is suffering from depression, although no one at that time knew what it was. How her daughter rouses her out of it, with the help of a chance encounter with strangers, is extremely powerful and moving.

Armstrong has thoroughly researched the time period this story takes place in, and it flows naturally so the reader feels she is right there in the story. Lovely illustrations add to the mood.
