A BEAUTIFUL AND UNFORGETTABLE LOVE STORY!

Thomas Tryon left acting to write, and I'm so glad that he did! His novel "Lady" slowly builds to a crescendo, and then when I finally understood where the story was going, I just stared at the page, shocked and unbelieving. But what a wonderful love this was! I have read the book twice and will no doubt read it again. Thomas Tryon has an incredibly fertile imagination, and he really outdid himself in this novel. I recommend it highly to anyone who would enjoy reading an outstanding and very unusual love story.

Thest BEST Love story I have ever read!

Tryon to this day, still remains an outstanding writer. This beautifully written love story will have an unforgettable impact on your life long after you finish reading it. Lady is second only to Harvest Home and The Other. Even though this story was written 25 years ago, it still remains of the best love stories ever written. Lady should be read by everyone, you will not regret or forget its impact.

This book is wonderful!

Tryon's greatest achievement, and in my opinion, one of the most hauntingly beautiful books ever written. You will want to read it again and again. It is the rarest of tomes. One that you must read slowly, savoring every beautiful word. I guarantee you will be walking around in a delicious semi-hypnotic state after reading this one!

You will forever look at life with new eyes.......

THIS IS THE MOST MEMORABLE, HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL BOOK IN THE WORLD. ITS' GRACE AND FINE CHARACTERS WILL LINGER IN YOUR MEMORY FOREVER. IF YOU ONLY READ ONE BOOK IN YOUR LIFE, THIS SHOULD BE THE BOOK.

Lady is a gentle story of a boy's introduction to life.

Lady is a book that speaks to my heart. I read it for the first time while I was in high school. It opened my mind, in a very gentle way, to the idea of inter-racial relationships. By the time the pairing of the characters was revealed, I cared so much for them that skin color seemed irrelevant to their relationship, only becoming relevant in what it made them do to live harmoniously. This book has moved with us for 20 years, a strong statement since we are an Air Force family. I am saving this book for my children because Lady is a story that I want each of them to know.
