About the author: Sidney Sheldon - Should I say more?
About the book: This bestseller was first published in 1980 and getting reprinted till date and one of the best works by Sheldon.
Plot: The story of Jennifer Parker, an Assistant District Attorney for the State of New Yorkyoung and successful lawyer who is loved by two men belonging to opposite poles and opposing each each other - one a senator and the other, a mafia don. This tale is about her survival in New York city, against all odds.
What I liked most: Jennifer's strong character and determination to succeed. The way she challenges the system and her inner struggle when she falls in love with married men, one after another and goes on to mother a child without having to reveal his father!
The book is an interesting read its difficult to put it down even when the eyes are tired. Also, the reader gets to know about certain elements of US judicial system.
Brickbats:
I find it difficult to believe
- that her first enemy, District Attorney De Silva did not obstruct her after her first thumping victory.
- that Adam Warner goes on to become the President in a short while, similar to Bollywood flicks :-)
Summary: Suggested for light reading, time-pass and general reading pleasure.
