The Apple Tree: "(Lynette Sofras's) ability to weave her story with such beautiful use of the English language is second to none."


5.0 out of 5 stars A BEAUTIFUL STORY March 31, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Divorced doctor Julie Somerville is one mixed up lady. Facing yet another huge exam, she is questioning her desire to be a doctor at all. Expectations from her now deceased father and workaholic sister (both dedicated doctors) forced her into a career she has little empathy for. What she is searching for, she has no real idea, but she knows it has to be more than she has right now. Meeting Nicholas, who she mistakes for a gardener, might be the answer. But Nicholas has very firm ideas about the sanctity of marriage and during a lively discussion between friends; Julie omits to mention her previous marriage. As the electricity between them sparks, Julie frets over the omission but doesn't find an opportune moment to confess. They spend idyllic time together over the next few weeks before Nicholas discovers she has a husband (not an ex-husband) from someone else. Infuriated, he refuses to listen to any explanation. Her previous angst is nothing to what she now suffers.
This is quite an intricate story of Julie's search for the happiness which has always evaded her. I would have liked some of the story to have come from Nicholas' POV so I could have got to know him better but that's just my personal taste.
Lynette Sofras showed how the written word should be used. Her ability to weave her story with such beautiful use of the English language is second to none. I was in awe of how the words leapt off the page in such splendour. What an amazing voice for a romance writer to have. I would recommend this story as a must read to everyone, not so much for the story itself but for the amazing use of language. We could all learn something from Lynette Sofras' writing skills.
