5.0 out of 5 stars ADDICTIVE, January 1, 2005

By 

Martin Boucher (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sins (Signet) (Paperback)

Judith Gould's SINS is a super-glossy weaving tale of passion and intrigue set into the world of haute-couture which starts during WW2 and ends in the early 80's. Hélène Junot is a strong heroine surrounded by a group of colorful characters, many of whom are driven by their own need to destroy her, in a setting that is as rich as the people who lives in it. Gould uses every trick in the book (sex, money, power, sex...) to capture her readers and transports them into a world of (not so) privileged lives, and thus succeeds in making her first novel a thrilling experience.-----Martin Boucher

4.0 out of 5 stars Deeply Intriguing Romantic Saga, April 24, 2000

By 

Michelle Brocchini (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sins (Signet) (Paperback)

A great historical romance that allows the mind to wander along some of the most intriguing times of the 20th century. If there was ever a woman I would like to emulate it would be Helene, this character is truly the definition of a Phoenix, and her rising from ashes again and again to make her life a fulfilled one and truly incredible. The author simply is amazing with her talent for balancing three differnt era's and societal factions in a truly imaginitive story.
