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 Review-Rajyeshwari Ghosh
Rajyeshwari Ghosh 19 March at 16:00 Report
A Socially and Emotionally Sensitive Historical Fiction! (5 Stars)
The Day the Flowers Died is a brilliantly written, well-researched historical fiction. It takes us back to the Pre-Nazi time and when Hitler came into power in Nazi Germany. Dr. Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning tells us about the gruesome life at the concentration camps, Anne Frank’s Diary tells us about the life of Anne and her family during Nazi Germany, and this book tells us about the love story of Eli Levin, a young Jewish lawyer and Rebecca Baum, a newly graduated nurse from aristocratic, Catholic background. The story depicts how they overcame painful struggles to honor their love for each other and how they survived through the social prejudices of the time.
What I really liked about the book is it is so full of reality. You can readily relate to the facts and the fictions. Though the story ended in a sad note, yet there was a sense of hope and emancipation.

The Day the Flowers Died -Reader Reviews
This is truly a love story. I love the way they meet and everything else. Your descriptions are brilliant.
-Ron s
I like the use of color. It opens the first scenes and is an ongoing theme. -B. J. Winters
You have something very special here. It is a world you could not have known personally, but which is completely believable and that is all writers aim to do, but only the really good ones can acheive it as well as you have. -Philip Carlton

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.

The Day the Flowers Died REVIEW
When the Flowers Died
What begins as a simply told love story between Eli Levin, a Jew, and Rebecca Baum, a Catholic, turns into something sinister when the focus backs away from them and includes the horizon behind them. Germany is splintered. Its parliament can’t agree within itself, and Hitler steps into the void. His Reich is in its nebulous form, growing strength and tearing Germany apart, with no one to stop him.
In spite of familial concern and fear, Eli and Rebecca live together and eventually wed though, toward the end, he can no longer find work in Munich. In desperation, and with the discovery of his wife’s pregnancy, he convinces his parents and siblings to flee to America with forged documents. He and Rebecca plan to follow, as soon as she recuperates from an illness.
To me, this book has an unusual rhythm and cadence in its writing, and sometimes the author uses an odd choice of words. Nonetheless, she creates a world vibrant to the mind and tactile to the emotion. This is intelligently written, well researched, and offers a unique view into prewar Germany.
I was given this book to review, and it stayed with me long after I finished reading it.
