The Whole is Greater Than the Parts- All in the Mind – 5 Stars
Another delightful review for All in the Mind from Robert E. Johnson:
“All in the Mind is a novel of delights. It is one tale with three distinct stories, each of them a joy to read. Ms. Twist does a superb job in developing characters, both likeable and not so likeable ones. What gives the tale extra pleasure is her ability to include little details without overloading with an excess of them.
The first story takes place in England just after World War Two. The romance of Tilly and Johnny has a certain Cinderella feel to it, but without the evil step mother and sisters. A reader is able feel the joy and warmth of their discovery of each other that leads to a storybook wedding in the magical country village. It has a story of love that has contains a paragraph or two that brings forth slightly weepy eyes.
The second story adds some new characters in a light science fiction way. It addresses the hopes of finding a cure for the pain of Alzheimer's Syndrome that has possibilities for the return to a youthful life. Ms. Twist writes with sympathy and hope in this story of what is possible. It has been written that `what a person could conceive and believe, they could achieve'. This part of the story embodies the concept.
The third story adds another character or two and a whole new type of action; one filled with intrigue and derring-do plus the surprise that envelopes Tilly and Johnny. There is the freeing of one person from the dictates of a dictatorial father and the romantic deliverance of a woman from a form of captivity.
The whole is greater than the parts as they are woven together to produce a thoughtful and fun tale. I strongly recommend this book for the pleasure it will give the reader.”
Thank you so much, Robert
