Anjuelle Floyd's novel, Seasons in Purdah, is packed beginning to end with emotion and suspense. It is about a blind psychologist who is learning to cope with her loss of sight while trying to understand how she could become a channel for the dead fiancee of a man who is dying of AIDS which he caught while in prison for a crime he didn't commit. In her childhood, she was a playmate of two boys who grew up to become doctors. Now she is in an emotional tug of war with them. The one who is not her husband wants to operate on her to restore her sight. Her husband doesn't want her to have the surgery because he feels it is too dangerous. After bouts of fainting she undergoes another scan that reveals an aneurysm. It is no longer surgery to restore her sight but to save her life. Anjuelle Floyd digs deep down in the the depths of each character's emotions. She is an excellent writer and can pack a lot into descriptions and actions. I have no problem giving this book a five star review. It can draw you in and hold you in thrall to the very end.
