- Falling in Love
on Jan. 04, 2010
The first in Lidmila's wonderful historic, artful, romantic Jazz saga.
- Talking to the Moon
on Jan. 04, 2010
My favorite so far in this wonderfully romantic series, where we really get into the head and heart of Irene as she tries to understand her love of being in love, and being loved.
- Strangers in the Night
on Jan. 20, 2010
Wonderful flights of fancy in this modern historical romance!
- The Drowning of a Goldfish - Redux
on Feb. 07, 2010
Extraordinary, award winning novel originally written in French, now re-written by the author herself in English completely as she desired. A sophisticated, articulate love story -- that eventually evolved into a trilogy from which I got many enjoyable moments.
- An Experience in Four Movements
on March 05, 2010
In researching this romatic period the narrator finds the people and times so engaging that she creates a personal relationship with characters long gone (a valued escape from her own dreary life, perhaps). You the reader are invited to do the same!
- Cry me a River
on Sep. 21, 2010
In this eternal saga of love at any price, we see the young protagonist, Irene, losing her grip on her own self esteem. The characters are complex and in their baffling decisions and repetition of bad choices, all too human.
- A Case of Do or Die
on Aug. 05, 2011
An award winning writer, Lidmila Sovakova, has done it again with this wonderful, tricky romance, actually the third in the Drowning of a GoldFish series. You will feel the heroine's emotions, and her quirky, unique view of the world of romance.
- Dancing in the Dark
on Sep. 27, 2011
Hold on to your hats as tempestuous Irene takes us one more time on her love-go-round. If only she realized that Egon has become her true love!
- The Scarlet Maze
on Jan. 22, 2013
An excellent writer with a European flair, Lidmila writes intriguing love stories - she is not afraid of taboo subjects, or love affairs that in the end simply do not work.
- The Eye of Medusa
on Jan. 22, 2013
Enjoyed this wrapup of the saga. Sophisticated, emotional writing.
