<<  I thought HEART OF THE WEST was one of the best sagas I've
 read. I couldn't finish PASSIONS. This probably has a lot to do with
 my personal distaste for angst. Even the writing seemed -- I can hardly
 believe I'm actually going to write this -- overblown in spots. >>

Alice--
   I've finished it now and my opinion didn't change.  I didn't want Bria to
die and I didn't want Shay to want another woman--especially not so soon!  I
think the fact that Bria was the sympathetic character for 2/3 or 3/4 of the
way through the story had a lot to do with this overwhelming "sadness" for
me.  Not that I didn't like Emma.  I just like to read and finish a story and
feel good, not sad.
   The whole story had such a melancholy feel--but like you said, she's rich
and I'm not and hey--Bernadette and many others loved it!
   You know we writers sometimes just say "They didn't get it," when a reader
doesn't care for our story, so: "I didn't get it."  <g>
