the other side of midnight by sidney sheldon

We all play God, but some of us are better-equipped for the role than others. Others snubbed or cheated me, but in my heart there is an indelible record of each transaction. I learned to quickly estimate the odds against me, and then I beat them. I was lucky I was born with a talent for mathematics. There were fourteen children, and we had to fight for our bread at the table. Opening Line: “Through the dusty wind-shield of his car Chief of Police Georgios Skouri watched the office buildings and hotels of down-town Athens collapse in a slow dance of disintegration, one after the other like rows of giants pins in some cosmic bowling alley.” I will recommend it to everyone as it has almost all the elements a novel can has, true love, hate, betrayal, revenge, justice and more. But situations take unexpected turn and that’s the twist you really want to read the book for! Noel kills his child and starts her journey to destroy Larry’s life and have her revenge. He breaks her trust and leaves her pregnant with his child (but he actually didn’t know about it). Finally she runs away and then meets Larry Douglas, our hero. A beautiful young girl who was sexually exploited in her childhood by her father and later sold to a guy who also exploited her sexually.

Loved the end and absolutely loved the part of Constantin Demeris. An amazing story of beautiful and powerfully wealthy people. Completely astonishing and mind-blowing! I love all of Sidney Sheldon’s book and this one’s a favourite. She is Catherine Douglas, a women caught in a web of four lives intertwined by passion as her handsome husband pursues an incredibly beautiful film star… And as Constantin Demeris, a legendary Greek tycoon, tightens the strands that control them all. In Paris… Washington… and a fabulous villa in Greece, an innocent American girl becomes a bewildered, horror-stricken pawn in a game of vengeance and betrayal.
