Only Love (Magical Love)
John Rubinstein adroitly handles the accents and cultural flair of this typically Segal tale of romance, music, intelligent characters, and impending loss. Matthew Hiller, a brilliant medical geneticist, is approached by the husband of a dying woman begging him to save her life. Of course, this takes Matt back into a once impassioned and unresolved love. Much of this is told in flashback?from Paris and Venice to Africa and New York?building the emotional ties between the doctor and his patient Silvia. This provides a challenge for the reader. However, a particular benefit to audio over print here is the Brahms piano and cello duet that helps the ending resonate for the listener. Announced as the subject of a 1998 Hallmark Hall of Fame miniseries, this will ensure a definite new mass-market market for this audiobook.?Joyce Kessel, Villa Maria Coll., Buffalo, N.Y.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
