Product Description

Product Description

There are things Patrick Boyle will never forget: the sound of his own neck breaking at the moment of his death in the fall of 1970, the sweet taste of his mother's chocolate cake, and the awful day his parents abandoned him in his childhood house-turned prison.

Nineteen-year-old Patrick wonders for decades if God has forgotten all about him or if he's being punished for some terrible crime or sin over a lovely forty years trapped in an empty home. But when Sara Oswald, a strange woman with a mysterious past, buys his house, old feelings reawaken, and a new optimism convinces him that she's the answer to his prayers.

Things are never simple, though, especially when she begins channeling the memories of his life and death in her writing.

I was lucky enough to get a early version of this novel for my kindle, and I read it in around 9 hours.

I couldnt put it down.

The charaters where gripping, and emotionally captivating, the plotline even more so. The plotline was brilliantly written and well thought out.

Do read this story if you like funny, witty and brilliantly written story!

..Infact this read this story anyway! Its brilliant!

Fabulous Debut! 4 Nov 2011
By These Pretty Words - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Descriptive. That's the one word that comes to mind when I think of Aida's debut novel - a touching tale of a nineteen year old young man who dies on the very first page. What comes after that almost disturbingly detailed account of a simple fall down a flight of stairs is a beautiful and unique look at life... and love... after death.

Patrick haunts his childhood home for decades, alone and isolated from the rest of the world... until the day Sara walks in the door. Almost immediately she seems to have a sense of something or someone in the house, watching her, interacting with her. She does what many of us have probably done at one point or another - she talks to the nothing around her. And she absolutely captivates the dead young man still roaming the shag-carpeted halls.

This book absolutely drowns you in the emotions of its characters. From the loneliness and sorrow of a long-dead Patrick, trapped in the same house he died in, to the anguish of the heartbroken Sara. Through the sweetness of falling in love and the bitterness of lost dreams. From the pain of feeling disconnected from everyone to finding that special someone who gets it... gets you. Even if he is dead.

The bad: Take everything you think you know about ghosts and throw it all out the window. The world Aida builds includes touching... kissing... sleeping. It's a fresh view on life after death, and I absolutely loved it!

The characters are written true and bold, with flaws and quirks that make them stand right up off the page. The plot is intriguing and keeps the reader engaged right from the first page. The writing is witty, a bit snarky at times, and utterly captivating. I definitely recommend buying this lovely, unique, wonderful novel and giving it a read. It's well worth the time. I'd love to see a sequel written, Miss Aida.

Great Story 8 Dec 2011
By Draaks - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Nineteen year old Patrick Boyle gets up one morning to the smells of his mothers pancakes and while rushing down the stairs trips and falls breaking his neck. Although they come and take away his body he stays behind. Distraught over losing her only child his mother convinces his father to move to a different state but she can't bring herself to sell the house. So Patrick, who can't leave the house, is by himself left to wonder why God hasn't taken him to heaven. The one day a young woman moves in and Patrick finds out that it has been 40 years since his death, that his parents have died, and that he has a strange connection to Sara.

I was so excited when I won this book from Goodreads and it didn't disappoint me. From the very first page you are hooked. I love Patrick and he and Sara are so cute together. You feel his pain at not being able to move on, or have people see or hear him. I felt so sorry for him when he found out his parents had both died. I read this in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Everyone should read this book. It is amazing.

FANTASTIC! 24 Nov 2011
By ssherrill115 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am familiar with Aida's work. She has written stories that I have enjoyed before, but this one is a MUST READ!

I think all of us, no matter what our religious beliefs or non-beliefs, wonder on some level "what is next?". For Aida's main character, Patrick doesn't have to wonder too long. You find out from the beginning that Patrick doesn't survive the first chapter. What happens next is surprising to say the least.

This book had me hooked from the start. Aida writing is descriptive and compelling. You can feel what Patrick feels (or doesn't feel) in this story, and when the unlikely heroine finally shows up - you are as happy to see her as Patrick is!

Between Seasons is a fantastic read!
