Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<em><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';">Sinbad’s Wife</span></em><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';"> is an unconventional tale of adventure and danger about a woman’s struggle to save the man she loves, even if it means making tough choices that go against the grain. Though I found her choices to be somewhat disturbing, I had to ask myself if I would do the same thing in her situation. How far would you go to save the man you love? <br /><br /> Ms. Sweeney always creates stories that are thrown miles outside the box, and <em>Sinbad’s Wife</em> is no exception. <a href="http://www.nightsandweekends.com/articles/09/NW0900127.php"><span class="klink"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;">Imagine</span></span></a> an Amish-like community that’s set far into the future, on a distant planet, where most people aren’t entirely human. Throw in a family <a href="http://www.nightsandweekends.com/articles/09/NW0900127.php"><span class="klink"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;">drama</span></span></a> edged with perilous excursions, and you have yourself a grand escapade. <br /><br /> Though you might find yourself judging the choices that Andrea makes, perhaps even disliking her a little in the process, I can still guarantee that <em>Sinbad’s Wife</em> is unlike anything you’ve read before. After reading it, you’re going to want to pick up the next book to see what adventures Sinbad gets mixed up in next. I know I will.<br /><br />--Margaret Marr<br />Nights and Weekends<br /></span>
