I love Gay Courter!

Not my favorite of hers but still awesome!

Poignant, Well-developed Romance with Human Characters

River of Dreams was one of the first romances I stumbled across. Margaret's journey from girlhood through maturity remains one of the most engaging I have read after all these years. With disturbing and stark reality, we travel with her as she learns about love, tragedy and temptation. The pace of the writing varies, not always successfully, but the struggles of a woman trying to find her way through life, adultery and friendship never fail to intrigue the reader. The sensuality in the book heightens these relationships and augments the experience, rather than detracting from it, while at the same time providing tantalizing detail to the reader. The total package leaves you with a special place in your heart for the characters, vivid imagery of Brazil, and a desire to reread again and again.
