Touching, Insightful and Interesting,
By camilla (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wind in the Chimes: A Father's Farewell Whisper to His Daughter (Paperback)
I read this entire book in one evening - because I couldn't put it down. The main character begins as a shadow colored in with each new page into a more vivid, beautiful, and real person. The book closely documents the lives of two individuals as they struggle together to cope and accept a tragedy, and to finally accept and love each other. The story is touching, real, and raw without ever becoming mushy or boring. My favorite aspect of the book was the way the author incorporates her own "diary" with that of her father's, allowing the opportunity to understand each "character" from their own point of view and experience. In short, I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to non-fiction lovers, history buffs, and anyone who just wants to snuggle up with a good book.

A must read for everyone,
By Craig Bradway (CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wind in the Chimes: A Father's Farewell Whisper to His Daughter (Hardcover)
This story is very moving and thoughtful. It is a must for anyone that has had, currently has or will have the challenge of dealing with a parent's illness. This book is so insightful and at the same time fulfilling. It makes you laugh and then moves you to places only a person's love of their parent can go. A great book for a rainy day, a day at the beach or flying to your next destination.

Touched emotions that I had not felt in years,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wind in the Chimes: A Father's Farewell Whisper to His Daughter (Paperback)
I was introduced to The Wind in the Chimes by a friend of mine who had read it and recommended that I get a copy as she felt I would really enjoy the book. I was hesitant as I am not a reader but I thought what the heck I will try. When I received the book, I took one evening to read it. Honestly, I could not put it down. How did she know I had lived these same feelings in my family. I immediately wrote to the author, C.C. Clark, and told her how this book had moved me and that I was going to become an avid reader of other literature and could not wait for her next book. "The Wind in the Chimes" is for everyone and I have recommended this book to everyone I know. Thank you C.C. for helping me deal with issues that I had been stubborn on. Bravo on your first book!
