This novella goes into infrequently traveled territory, being told almost exclusively from the main character's point of view as Sylvia's musings are related to an unseen and unnamed counselor.

The text is like reading from Sylvia's personal journal, so you feel compelled to keep reading and find out what happened to bring her to this place in her life. She is disfigured from a war-related attack, confused about whether to continue her career as an international correspondent and searching for her soulmate.

The premise of the tale is how Sylvia examines her life to see where she has been and where she is going in every sense of the word. She realizes the impact her friend Helen had on her, and even though Helen is passed on, she still feels Helen is with her, guiding her along.

This book might not be for everyone, but for its target audience of those who look beyond the accepted mode of society and question how (and why), this tale will be enjoyed! Riann: http://www.onepageatatime.blogspot.com

I enjoyed my journey with Sylvia and found the book unputdownable! The style of writing was very different to anything I've read before. In fact it probably made my journey even more personal and involved, as if Sylvia was speaking just to me. I found her character very believable, more than a little sensuous and was left with a feeling of satisfaction at the end, as she realised who her soulmate was . Can't wait to read more of Vitae Bergman's work.
