5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting . . . I loved it!, March 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Remember (Mass Market Paperback)

Remember was a GREAT book! It is one of those books that you can read over and over again Filled with excitement, suspense (and a litttle romance) Remember narrates the story of Nicky Wells, a war correspondent and reporter. Three years before, her fiance, Charles Devereaux, "commited suicide" and she is still very emotionally scarred. However, after a friendship with Cleeland Dovonan, a fellow war photagrapher, develops into more than just a friendship, Nicky wonders if she might be able to love someone again. Suddenly, she is forced to remember Charles when she develops disturbing suspciions about his double life. There are some things that you just can't forget, as hinted at in a poem at the beginning of the book by Christina Rossetti: "Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land, When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be too late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve; For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad."

4.0 out of 5 stars A mini-series in the making, August 25, 2004

This review is from: Remember (Mass Market Paperback)

TV war correspondent, Nicky Wells, is is once again reporting the breaking news, this time in Tianamen Square at the time of the Beijing massacre, when her life is saved by her colleague Clee Donovan. They both realise that the close friendship that they've shared for 2 years has developed into love and begin a passionate affair. Nickys' past life returns to haunt her when she sees the face of her supposedly dead fiance, Charles Devereaux, on a TV news release and sets out on a journey across Europe to find the truth.
This book is quite a delicious mixture of European travelogue, international intrigue and steamy love affair which would make a wonderful and colourful, light mini-series for tv (if it hasn't been done already).
