The June moon had risen, sending broken shafts of white light through the ailanthus to the house door. When the girl came at last, she stepped out into a world of soft lights and wavering shadows, fragrant with tree blossoms not yet overpowering, hushed of its daylight sounds of playing children and moving traffic. The house had been warm. Her brawn hair lay moist on her forehead, her thin white dress was turned in at the throat. She stood on the steps, the door dosed behind her, and threw out her arms in a swift gesture to the cool air. The moonlight clothed her as with a garment. From across the Street the boy watched her with adoring, humble eyes. All his courage was for those hours when he was not with her. . . .

K is OK,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: K (Kindle Edition)
This is a drama about the relationships between the people in a neighborhood of a small town and in the hospital where some of them work. I found the first half of the book to be a bit drawn out and uninteresting, but it improves in the second half. The author gets in a wide variety of things- jealousy, revenge, unrequited love, murder, family ties, mystery. She does a good job of getting inside of people's heads. If you have spare time this book is OK to read, but if you pass it by you aren't missing all that much.

Better Than I Expected,
This review is from: K. (Special Illustrated Edition) (Kindle Edition)
I agree that this novel is a bit slow moving at first..but like any good book the suspense builds. Mary Roberts Rheinhert wrote a variety of novels and this is one of her best. The character of "K" is slowly built up. The romance blooms on a street with a variety of different people all with different wants and needs. Somehow K brings it all together.
Good book for a rainy afternoon, a short easy read.

I`ll give it a "B".,
This review is from: K (Kindle Edition)
I gave it "B" because of the slowness of plot & character development in the first half of the book. Second half was much more enjoyable.
