Book Reviews of Abide With Me: A Novel
Book Review: Abide With Me
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say that I loved the book, just as I have enjoyed all of the rest. E. Lynn Harris is my favorite authors next to Eric Jerome Dickey and I would read just about anything that he writes. I met him years ago here in Raleigh, NC at the White Rabbit Bookstore and he is one of the most personable people I have ever met; as nice as can be. He has a lot of class and style, and he made me feel as if I had known him for years. Abide With Me satisfied me and I loved the ending; Basil may just meet his match! Basil is a character that everyone loves to hate and I have enjoyed him in every book. I hope the small cliff hanger at the end means that there will be a follow up to this book. Basil truly gave all of your books flavor! It was also good to see where other characters (Trent, Nicole) were with their lives as well. Mr. Harris, keep on doing what you're doing because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!
Summary of Abide With Me: A Novel
In this hotly anticipated conclusion to his popular Invisible Life trilogy, E. Lynn Harris delivers a masterful tale that traces the evolving lives of his beloved characters Nicole Springer and Raymond Tyler, Jr., and reintroduces readers to their respective lovers, best friends, and potential enemies. Abide with Me moves between the worlds of New York City, where Nicole has recently settled in order to pursue her dream of returning to the Broadway stage, and Seattle, where a late-night phone call from a U.S. Senator is about to change Raymond's life dramatically. Relationships and ambitions are tested as Harris deftly guides us toward this entertaining novel's conclusion.Sexy and heartwarming in equal measure, Abide with Me will thrill new readers as well as fans already familiar with Harris's unique take on the universal themes of love, friendship, and family. E. Lynn Harris has truly done it again.
The third volume of the Invisible Life trilogy picks up the characters' lives a few years after the conclusion of Just As I Am. Raymond Tyler and his partner, Trent, are living together comfortably in Seattle, until Raymond's nomination for a position as a federal judge brings to light some troubling incidents from their past. Meanwhile, Raymond's former lover, Nicole (now happily married to his best friend, Jared) is starring in a touring company of Dreamgirls, although a sinister understudy is willing to stop at nothing to take the role for herself. And former pro football player Basil Henderson, who's proved himself over the years to be perhaps Harris's most compelling fictional creation, is regularly attending therapy (although it doesn't seem to be helping him deal with either his denial of his bisexuality or his emotionally abusive behavior towards others). While readers unfamiliar with Harris's previous stories will be able to follow the latest plot developments without much trouble, having the first two volumes of the trilogy under your belt is a definite advantage towards knowing where the characters are coming from.
