Suddenly One Summer (An FBI/US Attorney Novel)

Product Information

There's also a great secondary cast to add some extra layers to the story as well. One happens to be our investigative reporter's sister, who is an unwed mother trying to locate the sperm donor from a one nightstand. I'll admit I might have gotten a little choked up at this situation.

Meanwhile, in South Australia, Detective Burrows is called out to the property of an elderly farmer whom he begins to suspect has dementia. Becoming intrigued by Guy’s history, Burrows begin to investigate the possibility of a family member gone missing. Both storylines converge in a great twist that I didn’t see coming. Problems beset the film's musical score as well. Malcolm Arnold originally was retained to work on it, but he apparently found certain aspects of the story so disturbing that he withdrew from the project after composing only the main themes. Buxton Orr completed the score. [12]Overall, if you are a fan of Julie James, I think you won’t be disappointed. Just know this one is a bit different from the FBI/ US Attorney series. King, Susan (6 January 1993). "Williams play a different role for Rob Lowe". The Los Angeles Times. Well eleven chapters in and I have the impression nothing meaningful has happened save for the heroine, Victoria Slade the divorce lawyer, moving next door to the hero, Ford Dixon the investigative reporter, and bringing her self-centred persona in the same condo. The play made its Broadway debut in 1995. It was performed together with Something Unspoken, the other one-act play that it originally appeared with under the title Garden District. It was presented by the Circle in the Square Theatre. The cast included Elizabeth Ashley, Victor Slezak and Celia Weston. [21] 1999 London West End debut [ edit ]

Julie James writes so that we are on the ride from the start. Her hand is deft and she knows these characters. They are not caught up in a life-threatening situation this time... No, this time, the stakes are much higher... Bloom, Harold (2003). Introduction to Tennessee Williams . Bloom's Bio-Critique. Chelsea House. p.3. The men she writes are for once in their life actually confident in who they are. Its nice reading a realistic Alpha hero on contemp romance. He likes a little control in bed, he gets jealous, protective, horny at moments notice...and yet is completely fine with the heroine having a life, and goals, and wants no part in tearing them down. He never patronizes her or tells her what is good for her. Its delicious.

The characters were all well developed on the whole and I liked the interaction between Dave and his wife Kim. Brianna and her father Russell and Caleb were all well portrayed. My problem was Angie, Russell’s girlfriend. I just didn’t find her credible. But others may respond differently. Dave in South Australia; Brianna in Western Australia – they’d never met; didn’t know each other existed. So how were they connected? How would the course of the lives of two complete strangers intercept? Clift found the long scenes exhausting and had to have his longest scene shot in multiple takes, one or two lines at a time. His shaky performance led director Joseph Mankiewicz to ask Spiegel several times to replace the actor. [4] Most of the crew were sympathetic toward Clift, [9] but Katharine Hepburn was especially resentful of the poor treatment to which Mankiewicz subjected him. Indeed, Hepburn found Mankiewicz's conduct so unforgivable that as soon as he called the final "cut" of the film, she asked him to confirm that her services were no longer required, and when he did, she spat in his face. [10] Sources differ as to whether she also spat in Sam Spiegel's face. [11] When Ford’s sister, Nicole shows up crying with a small baby in tow, Victoria, a family law attorney, steps up and offers her services to help. Working together to locate Nicole’s baby daddy, Ford witnesses the softer side of Victoria, glimpses the good, caring woman she is on the inside. Victoria sees a sweet protective side to Ford, going all out to help his sister in need, and things begin to change and heat up between these two! The plot centers on Catherine Holly, a young woman who, at the insistence of her wealthy aunt, is being evaluated by a psychiatric doctor to receive a lobotomy after witnessing the death of her cousin Sebastian Venable while travelling with him in Spain the previous summer.
