Customer Reviews

Loved Gershon's Book. Can't wait for the next one.

An amazing first effort. Gershon quickly draws the reader to his diverse characters. Before you know it, you're totally caught up in the intrigue and action. A story skillfully woven between past and present leads the reader to the realization that people and things are not always as first perceived. I really loved this book. The only disappointment was that it read so quickly and ended way too soon. Can't wait for the next one.

An impressive debut

Gershon is one of those rare storytellers who keep the suspense high but also create fully formed characters whom you find yourself still caring about after you've finished reading the book. "The Hydrangea People" is well-written, moving, and memorable. I look forward to Gershon's next book!

captivating

In his first novel, Charles Gershon masterfully unfolds a multilayered mystery. Accompanied by a variety of well developed characters, the reader travels a tightly connected landscape through South Georgia to Nazi Germany, almost to Palestine, and back again to the rich and textured world of the deep south. Across time and several continents, Gershon has woven a fascinating story of intrigue. Laced with moral dilemmas, this page-turner is a very satisfying read. Bravo to Gershon for this spot-on first effort.

Can't put it down

The characters in this book grab your interest from the first page. The plot seems to be simple and you willingly follow it along. However, the intrigue builds rapidly and you soon find out that the past intimately involves the present and the main character is not who he thinks he is. As we read this book we are reminded how insensitive and cruel we can be to our fellow human beings. The reader learns that one's enviroment is just as important as one's genetics . Also,we learn about true friendship and the values important in life.This book is exciting and hold your interest from start to finish and gives the reader an opportunity to reflect on many aspects of life.

The Hydrangea People-A Physicians Perspective
