Description

They were born in 1936, attended a school where boys and girls were segregated. They lived around the corner from each other in NYC, but never played together. They walked up to the same altar to receive their First Communion on the same day. They didn't notice each other. Why would they? He was a boy and she was a girl. Girls were no fun and boys were stupid.

Review by: Marlene Walden on Nov. 22, 2009 :
This is a story of a love we all wish for. Not many writers are able to bring a love scene to life with the tenderness and excitement found in Dyer's story, and he does it without vulgar descriptions, just the words of two lovers growing up and growing old together.

Review by: Doug Moore on Oct. 02, 2009 :
With this novel, William Dyer has created a story that has the graceful power to root you from the malaise of the human condition. It will do this slowly and lovingly. It makes you feel like a better person for having read it. Dyer effortlessly draws from the fundamental building blocks of our emotional and spiritual lives, to create a story of love that few will ever be lucky enough to experience.
Yet upon reading the final sentence, it leaves the reader believing that it is possible.
This is a deeply emotional and ultimately personal story that brims with the tactical descriptors of two lives and an emotion that, for most of us, evades concise definition, yet seems completely "at home" within the shared life of William and his beloved and cherished "Girl on the Balcony".
