Lavender Morning by Jude Deveraux
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Who doesn’t love Jude? I mean, really? My first entry into Jude’s world was The Summer House, suggested to me by a dear author friend, and I fell in love. When I knew I was going on a road trip, I needed another Jude book, and I found this one by happenchance. I had no idea it was a nine-book series, but once I came back and wanted to give a review, I found out there were nine books and was delightfully pleased.
Oh, Edilean, how I wish you was real. I want to live in this town, become friends with all of these people, and immerse myself inside this story and not come up for air.
The main character, while some may say led a sad life, I find it to be full, vibrant, and one I resonate with. I want to know how Jude brings these characters to life so much that I feel they are real people to me. I often hear people who watch the television show “Friends” say they are their real friends and couldn’t figure out how that could happen. Then I read Jude’s books and know how it happens. Some people have a special gift of craft, and Jude has that. I have no doubt that before I take my last breath, I’ll read every book that Jude has written and pray that I can create a character so vivid that someone will become its friend.
Bravo again, Jude!
