Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Devotees of Bantock's enigmatic bestseller, Griffin & Sabine , won't be disappointed by this equally intriguing and perplexing--and equally gorgeous--sequel. London artist Griffin Moss and islander Sabine Strohem, who have never met face-to-face or spoken via phone, exchange hand-illustrated, handwritten letters and postcards--ostensibly reproduced here, tucked into envelopes and removable for reading. As this installment opens, Griffin, frightened by his psychic connection to his otherworldly correspondent, flees England on a night sea journey from Italy to Japan and Australia. He leaves a letter for Sabine, urging her to stay in his abandoned studio. Winter turns to summer and Griffin's courage overcomes his trepidation; still, Sabine warns him to "be . . . cautious; the eye of the storm is a deceptive place." Griffin's initial distress and progressively optimistic outlook shine through his paintings. Sabine's cryptic visual messages seem tinged with mysticism and, possibly, malevolence. Perhaps because it has been established in the previous book, the couple's supernatural bond is less of a focus here, and at times, his art and hers are a touch too similar. Nevertheless, Bantock's distinctive premise continues to puzzle and delight, the wonderful stationery has an authentic look and, not surprisingly, the finale leaves room for another chapter.

Review

Griffin creates a fictional character in Sabine, finds she is becoming too real, and flees his London home for a European journey when she threatens to arrive on his doorstep. Their notebook of adventures and travels is revealed in an especially strong abridged dual reading shared by Maxwell Caulfield and Marina Sirtis. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you want to pick up a postcard and write a friend., November 24, 1998
By Frederic M. Rewey "Fredrrr" (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Words can not describe what Nick Bantcock has combined with pictures and postcards. He actually pulls you in as you must open envelopes to read the ongoing correspondence. Buy a bottle of wine, build a fire and join your significant other for a journey that will not leave you disapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Across time and space..., September 2, 2006
By Robin K. (Hawaii) - See all my reviews
Griffin and Sabine are located on opposite ends of the earth -- Griffin is a lonely artist in England, while Sabine is a mysterious native of the elusive Sicmon Island chain in the South Pacific. Somehow, these two unique souls manage to find one another via a postal correspondence, and it is this correspondence back and forth which comprises the Griffin and Sabine books. Griffin and Sabine come to realize very quickly that their lives are inextricably bound up with one another, and that their coming together, face to face, is of utmost importance, not only for their own sanity, but possibly for the fate of the very world. Unfortunately, meeting face to face is more difficult than each of them could ever have imagined, and their quest to reach out to one another in a world of smoke and mirrors forms the backbone of these books.

I have loved these books since I first read them several years ago, and I keep coming back to them and rereading them over and over. They are truly able to transport you from Sabines sun-drenched paradaisical island home, to Griffin's rain-soaked isolation, and into other realms that are far less easy to describe. Excellently wrought and wonderfully creative, I encourage anyone with an imagination to read this trilogy: "Griffin and Sabine," "Sabine's Notebook," and finally, "The Golden Mean."

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book "Sabine's Notebook" is fabulous. I ordered the complete set(6)from different merchants. No problems - rapid shipping and received as described brand new. The "Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin & Sabine" is something one should have in their personal library. If you don't have the collection buy them. If you do have the collection treasure them. I purchased the first book in the collection "Griffin and Sabine" and someone stole it from me. So I am so very happy that I was able to purchase it again, before it became extinct or no longer in print. I will treasure this collection and keep a third eye on them this time. Lov'n it....
