An enjoyable book
to read. The characters are portrayed very well. Jack, a multimillionaire who experiences
mid-life crisis and ends up finding meaning to his life – but it costs him
millions of dollars and emotional pain. Adele is a heavy-drinking, free-living,
multimillionaire with an independent mind and a sense of humour. Wendy, a
single mother who finds the love of her life. Mixed up educators playing with
their students’ lives in their conquest and the retiring professor who resists
this plot has a big secret. A married advisor carries on an affair with another
man and when he is discovered, he thinks his world has ended.
One would say this fiction is a light comedy that is quite entertaining and
has some romance elements as well. Author Robert Mercer-Nairne brings
attention to common human frailties with a sense of fun. He clearly reveals the
desire to ‘get rich quick’ in North American Society. Members of this society
tend to hear what we want to hear and perceive the greener pasture out there
somewhere – rather than in the here and now.
Readers are shown
the foolishness of following others blindly and the danger of where our greed
can take us. Innocents can have their life irrevocable altered by someone
else’s desire to climb a corporate or social ladder. The benefit of spiritual
leaders to help ground the characters in this novel, helping them learn to
forgive themselves and move on in life is used at several points in the story.
I recommend this
book for anyone looking for a light, entertaining read.
