Five Stars for The Street of Seven Stars,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Street of Seven Stars (Kindle Edition)
This is the story of a young, female, musician (probably circa early 1900's) who is living in Europe. It is well written (as usual, for MRR), the plot is interesting, and the characters are engaging. Not a mystery, but one of my favorites. I recommend it!

This book was a very interesting and engaging story! It was one of those that you start reading slower as you get to the end, just so it will last longer! Also a fascinating insight into social mores of an earlier time.

A Real Romance,
By Aarwin (Rancho Cordova, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Street of Seven Stars (Kindle Edition)
This book was a delightful romance, and a vast departure from what modern publishers put out there under that genre. True romance is less anatomical and more in the heart, mind and emotions. This story has true romance. Harmony, a beautiful, young American violinist studying in Vienna in the early 1900's is adrift and almost penniless when she meets Peter, an American doctor studying in Vienna to become a surgeon. Each following their separate dream, they find a way to survive by pooling their resources and meet some facinating characters along the way. There is Anna, the middle-aged, spinster doctor who has given up on her dream of a husband and children; Stewart, a handsome medical student who exploits women for his own comfort and convenience, until a chance meeting high in the Alps upsets all his plans; Marie, a sad little member of the demi-monde, who makes the mistake of falling in love; a dying child; a Bosnian spy, and others. The characters are drawn with depth, sympathy and some become old friends. Solid writing, good pacing, and a large step above many novels of the time. I enjoyed it very much.
