Book Reviews of Summer of Glorious MadnessBook Review: Beautiful Story of Love & Healing Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. Yorke has a gift for description and for making words come alive on the page unlike any other author I've read. I could smell the exotic flowers in the prolific, unique, magical gardens created by Jack as he fell into the abyss of mental illness. The colors jumped from the pages as she described the flowers and even Annie's hair. This book was a sensual delight to read and experience. I fell in love with the folks in Dr. Elizabeth Shreve's group sessions...especially the Colonel and Kayla...such a vivid portrait of love and healing!!! The story was very well written and unputdownable. I like this quote regarding madness by Robin Williams: "You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." Jack had a magnetic spark of madness that lit up and enchanted everyone around him, me included. If you love books that leave you feeling good/happy about life, then this is a MUST read! Thank you, Ms. Yorke, for another fabulous book!! I highly recommend all of her books. "The Wishing Garden" is magnificent and my favorite book of all time.
