A beautifully crafted tale

Another review of The Dandelion Clock from 'English Tutor' :)

Five stars
"This is a beautifully crafted tale. It's skilfully written, never over-cooked romantic tale. The story remains believable throughout, eloquently evoking the recent past perfectly. You can't help rooting for each of the characters. It's great, it's sweet, it's heart-warming. If you want a decent plot that offers a study in real and tender care and affection, it's here, and done really well. I can't recommend this book highly enough; I adored it and read it at full-speed, whilst wishing it never to be ended."

    A rave review. You must be feeling high. Well done.
    P.S. Do you think the word craft applies well to writing?
    Reminds me of raffia mats. Patricia.

    definitely the word craft relates to writing. creative = craft. creative people make raffia mats, creative writers craft words.
    lovely review, Jay!

    Thanks, everyone. The review was music to my ears. :)

    Actually, All About Sex probably merits the description 'crafted' more than The Dandelion Clock. AAS has over 100 scenes. They weren't written in chronological order so, when I'd finished, I had to put them in the right order and occasionally add a link. Even then I managed to omit a scene - I thought I'd written it, but I hadn't.

    Well done Jay. I agree with every word - I couldn't put the book down either. I can't remember when I've been so enthralled.
