The Day the Flowers Died Review

Five Star Review: The Day the Flowers Died is a Wonderful Holistic Love story
This book is a rare historical romance told with flare and passion.
When I first received it I thought that it was going to be a dark and introspective
sort of history of two people…but it is so much more.
This book, which is fiction relates what it would have been like for two people,
with totally opposing cultures, who fell in love at the beginning of one of the
darkest periods in history…pre-war Germany.
Ami has enormous talent and she delivers a love story that is not only profound,
but engaging. I couldn’t put the book down and I am a very busy person with
almost no time to read…I almost wished I had gotten the audio version.
This is a must read for those that want to escape to another time…
it will change something deep inside of you in a very positive way

The Day the Flowers Died is not only the story of how two people fall in love, it’s also a photo of a horrible time in past history. There are many books out about holocaust survivors, or Nazis, or things like that. This book is the story of two ordinary people who fall in love: Rebecca, who is from an affluent Catholic German family, and Eli, a Jewish lawyer. The story begins a short time before Hitler comes to power, and as you watch the two main characters fall in love, you also see the changes in the German people around them. A typical romance at the start, the book turns to pure adventure as Hitler comes into power and shows how prejudice, discrimination and hatred slowly take over Germany. You see the story from the perspective of two common lovers, and how the Nazi party destroyed the country that they grew up in and loved. Rebecca at one point even enduring being shunned by her own parents because of her love for Eli.

Though I wasn’t especially crazy about the end, the story is well told. Not everything in life has a happy ending. I would eagerly recommend this book for anyone who loves a well told romance!

The Day the Flower Died- Review From Book Taste

BookTaste Review:

Lovers in a turbulent Europe.Ami Blackwelder paints with words. Her special talent is creating scene and atmosphere populated by credible characters. The Day The Flowers Died is a love story, gently narrated, that recreates prewar Germany during the 1930s, and the German government’s menacing swing to the Nazis. The girl’s sweetheart is Jewish, her parents point out the brutal dangers, but innocent ecstasy ignores the politics and the racial hatred that are sweeping the nation.

As fascist ideology becomes law, the lovers encounter the harsh reality of life and death. Released as an ebook, this novel has quickly gained an unusually large number of downloads. Can there be a trend (much welcomed) away from vampires and back to realistic human passion? This author’s books vary in genre and can be sampled here.

Happy reading! Posted by Cathy, 9 December 2009.
