5.0 out of 5 stars*****Brilliant and compelling

September 5, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As always with Ms Mahurin’s novels, I was immersed not only in the story but with the characters who filled the pages.

I found it compelling, poignant, and thought provoking. The research into the New York lunatic asylum and the barbaric treatment of patients, some of whom had committed no crime or mentally ill act with which to merit such internment were very realistic. Her character, Klara was colourful and her story in both present and past were breathtakingly personal, and I shared every minute with her.

This is a major work from a tremendous author who rightfully enjoys critical acclaim.

Bravo. 5 stars.

50 out of 5 stars*****Brilliant!

ByAmazon Customeron September 3, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Every time I pick up a new Paulette Mahurin’s book, I know that I’ll be immediately immersed into an unforgettable world of brilliantly-written historical fiction, where darkness and hope coexist side by side, and where characters are so real, I feel like I know each and every one of them personally by the end. “A Different Kind of Angel” was no exception. It’s a thoroughly researched novel that offers a glimpse into one of the darkest parts of American history – a New York women’s asylum where terror and abuse are given free reign, and where no hope of escaping exists. I couldn’t help but feel for Klara, a Jewish refugee who speaks no English and who has just narrowly escaped certain death in one of the Kiev’s pogroms, just to be thrown into a new hell. Klara was a wonderful central character: strong, resilient, highly intelligent, and sympathetic to her fellow “inmates” as I can’t quite call them patients for no doctor ever stepped inside to check on the women’s well-being. As I read, I was appalled not only by the horrifying conditions in which the women had to live but the brutal treatment of the guards and nurses, some of which drew some sadistic pleasure from abusing their charges. To be completely honest, such blatant disregard of a human being’s life and well-being reminded me of German concentration camps. It was even more appalling to think that such institutions existed on American soil, where freedom and justice for all were supposed to be the rule.
The part where the journalist Nellie Bly steps through the doors of the asylum is probably known to some readers who are familiar with the story. I absolutely loved how masterfully fact and fiction were interwoven in this novel, bringing to life the secrets long lost to the shameful American past. If you love historical fiction – definitely add it to your must-read list. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars*****This book is rich in detail, well-written and compelling.

BySibylla Tracy Parselleon September 3, 2018

Format: Paperback

I got an advance review copy of A Different Kind of Angel and thoroughly enjoyed it. It gives a factual account of the conditions inside the Women’s Lunatic Asylum of Blackwell’s Island and the ploy by a reporter named Nellie Bly to infiltrate the institution and disclose the horrifying conditions. The story is told through the eyes of Russian immigrant named Klara who is unfairly tossed into the asylum herself. There are also scenes of flashback to Klara’s family and the Kiev Pogrom. This book is rich in detail, well-written and compelling. There are vivid scenes. The reader can taste, hear and smell the inside of the asylum. As the author says, the place was a “chain with links made of misery.” I recommend this excellent book and give it 5 stars.

The author provides a period piece with themes as topical today as they were in the 1890s. In this well written, thought provoking novel, the life of the main character is disrupted by scourges of today’s society – gossip, bias, and prejudice. The characters are well developed and the writing is first rate. Once I started reading I could not put this book down. A great read.

RECENT REVIEWS FOR THE SEVEN YEAR DRESS

GOODREADS

Aug 29, 2018 Jo (An Unexpected Bookish Geek) ****rated it really liked it

Shelves: broke-my-heart, historical-fiction, inspirational

“The seven year dress” is a historical fiction book, which is based on a true account by Helen Stein, as told to the author. Any book which is based on the time of The Holocaust, is incredibly difficult to read about, let alone digest. This book is certainly no exception.

The author does a skillful job of presenting a story that is not only full of the true horrors of war, but has that bittersweet poignancy about it, too. Parts of this book, I found, extremely difficult to read, and obviously, what makes it all the more difficult, is knowing that these inhumane and barbaric acts actually did take place.

I feel that the main character Helen, felt very real to follow throughout this book. The descriptions of her interactions with others and the horrors of Auschwitz felt like they were in a lot of depth, and even though there were poignant moments in this book, quite a lot of it felt very depressing and heavy going. I’m not trying to say that is a bad aspect, but I cannot say I actually “enjoyed” reading this, despite how important these kind of accounts are.

Many people think that the sexual content in this book was unnecessary, but I beg to differ. It is telling us that despite the horror, heartache and everything else that was going on, we are still humans, and with that, our sexual needs and desires don’t necessarily diminish.

I would recommend this, even if it was just to realise the importance of it.

First reviews are in for A Different kind of Angel

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has purchased my book and taken the time to write a review. All profits from all my books go to help get dogs out of kill shelters.

SYNOPSIS

Inspired by real events chronicled by a journalist for The World News, Elizabeth Cochrane (pen name, Nellie Bly), in 1887.

Klara Gelfman’s life in Kiev was serene until she turned nineteen. That’s when Russia’s Tsar Alexander II was assassinated, and a vicious propaganda campaign spread that blamed the Jews for his death. Klara and her family became victims of the many pogroms breaking out throughout Russia. None were so violent as what hit Kiev in 1881. It was there that Klara’s family was torn asunder and her world changed forever.

This is the story of what happens to this traumatized, orphaned, young Jewish woman when she escapes Russia and crosses an ocean to arrive on the rough streets of New York City able to speak only a few words of English. There, in the land of the free, Klara’s life is thrown into turmoil when she is mistaken for a drunken prostitute. Mistreated by those entrusted to protect her—the police, a judge, doctors, and nurses—she is condemned to an unrelenting hellscape when she is incorrectly and involuntarily committed to a lunatic asylum.

At a time when women had no political, economic or professional rights, comes a story where corruption by the powerful was as overt and commonplace as was garbage on the New York City streets. From the award-winning, international best-selling author of The Seven Year Dress comes an unforgettable story of the devastating effects of persecution, hatred, and arrogance. A Different Kind of Angel is also a story of love, family, friendship, and loyalty. It is a journey into the nature and heart of the resilience of the human spirit that will leave readers thinking about the story long after they finish the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****Never have I learned so much while reading a book for pleasure!

ByIliaon September 6, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Ms. Mahurin has highlighted a shameful truth about cruelty, exploitation and dehumanization in the late 1800s to the downtrodden and disadvantaged members of society: immigrants, women, Jews, the poor, and the sick (especially the mentally unwell) in her most recent novel. Does any of this sound remotely familiar? This brilliant storyteller has helped me to realize that we are not as modern or cultured or civilized as we may have thought. Indeed, in many ways, we continue to relive the sins of our past.

You may be wondering, but what about the book? The beauty of every Paulette Mahurin book is that the fiction she weaves around historical fact is so compelling that you have to wonder what parts are fictional. Klara, the protagonist, is both brave and timid, ready to fight for her life in the asylum into which she was unjustly placed and ready to give up (if only briefly). The women she meets in the dorm of asylum makes the reader wonder if insanity is the only sane way to cope with the endless, capricious, savagery to which they are subjected. And in the midst of all the misery, this talented author does not let us forget that kindness glows warmly in the darkest and coldest of corners.

Each authority figure in or out of the asylum has a unique flavor of malice that drives them to behave in such loathsome ways towards the women who fall victim to imprisonment in the asylum and social discrimination. Ms. Mahurin, in effect, has deftly created in these opposing forces: the powerless female patients and the hateful, often violent “caretakers;” the greater and the lesser selves that we all carry inside of ourselves—the ultimate battle of good and evil, of angels and demons.

I shudder to think about how much of it is true. But I did some amateur research and found out that the conditions Ms. Mahurin describes in the Blackwell Asylum and the kinds of tortures these women underwent are all real. So is the character of Nelly Bly. Much of what anyone knows about the inside of insane asylums comes from her groundbreaking investigative journalism in the 1880s.

A Different Kind of Angel is a book you will never regret buying or reading. I can’t stop thinking about it and the lessons we could use today to treat unfortunate others with more compassion. This is the kind of gift this book gives to you beyond several hours of good, old-fashioned reading pleasure.

REVIEW FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANGEL

T R’s ***** review

Aug 31, 2018

it was amazing

 

With modern times bring women’s rights and issues to the forefront, this is a timely book. Although it dates back in history to the later 1800s, it is every bit contemporary today as it was then. Brilliantly written, this is a captivating story that rivals Mahurin’s The Seven Year Dress. Tackling issues such as anti-Semitism, misogyny, and human rights in general the author doesn’t hold back. That this centers around an actual historical event makes the read all the more compelling. There is a balance in the pages of all that is bleak and dark about the human spirit and all that is good and uplifting. And again, like today, where so much negativity prevails in the press there is also much good in the world, demonstrated in simple acts of kindness that create mountains of love and balance. A great read.

Synopsis: A Different Kind of Angel

My next book, A Different Kind of Angel, is due to be released around the end of August. As with many of my other books, I was drawn to a very difficult subject: the abuse of women in the late 19th Century, specifically the ill treatment and corruption in a women’s asylum. And one woman’s extremely brave attempt to expose the corruption. Written from the perspective of the protagonist, Klara Gelfman, a young woman who fled from the 1881 Kiev pogrom that devastated her family, the reader is taken behind the scenes to unthinkable injustices. It is historical times like this that the brave souls who fought for our rights, liberty, and the pursuit of justice shine brightly.

RECENT REVIEWS FOR HIS NAME WAS BEN

5.0 out of 5 stars*****A beautiful well written love story

ByTina Hogan Granton July 27, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

This book touches so many emotions on so many levels, from sadness, love, heartwarming, heartache, joy and up-lifting that I had to wipe away a tear or two. The story revolves around a wonderful woman named Sarah who is fighting Breast cancer. Being a breast cancer survivor myself, this hit close to home. Everything Sarah was experiencing during her treatment, was spot on. Later in the book when Sarah developed blood clots, again I could relate, having had five clots discovered on my lungs and three behind my knee while taking the drug Tamoxifen as part of my treatment. The fear Sarah felt brought back memories of my own fears.

While going through her cancer treatment, Sarah meets Ben in the waiting room who is also fighting cancer. I have to say, I love Ben’s temperament throughout the entire book. Sarah and Ben develope a beautiful friendship that evolves into a deep love for one another. It’s an amazing love story that is told so well by the author and I as the reader felt it through every page. My only wish was that they had met each other sooner.

I can’t say enough about this book. I finished the book a couple of weeks ago and still find myself thinking about it and I’ll probably still be thinking about it for months to come. When a book does that to you, well it’s a damn good book.

Paulette managed to write a serious book that just felt like a great read. I always admired Zola for being willing to take the abuse poured on him and stay with the truth until he finally was heard. It’s really a great and rather uplifting story. In today’s world, more than ever, we need to remember: bad things happen, but good things can come from them.

Format: Kindle Edition

This book is phenomenal. It takes you through a story of a woman who has lost all chances of finding love and compassion to her life due the Nazis. It takes you through her survival of the concentration camp.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****Very touching love story.

ByWriter and Readeron 2 July 2018

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

A moving and elegantly-written love story about two cancer patients who meet and fall in love. Not knowing how much time on earth either of them have, they approach their new relationship with wondrous eyes and gratitude for every moment. Taking the time to work through their family issues, they find a level of intimacy neither has previously found before. This was worth reading for the good writing and the moving story.

5.0 out of 5 stars*****This a most powerful and compelling novel

ByRichardon 14 June 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

There are many eras in history where one stops and thinks: Could I have survived in those days? Had I been born Jewish, lived in Berlin during the rise of Hitler and ended up in Auschwitz is something I have always wondered about. Paulette Mahurin has pretty much convinced me that I would not have. Fortunately, Helen Stein, the book’s main character, did.

Based on a true person, Helen tells her story to a young student nurse to whom she rents a room and who has noticed the damning tattoo on her forearm.

Prior to the war, Helen leads a comfortable enough life, until her father, who works for the German Government, is dismissed, simply for being Jewish. Life becomes more and more difficult. Helen has a friend, though, in the Nazi Youth, Max, who only joins because he is homosexual and feels that this course of action is the best way to hide his ‘frailties’.

When the hatred escalates, Max aids Helen and her brother Ben to escape at great danger to himself and hides them in a derelict farm belonging to his family. For four years they live there in fear that one day they will be discovered. That day arrives and they are transported to Auschwitz.

This a most powerful and compelling novel; the violence is never graphic, but the horror and threat of it as well as the implied violence will remain with the reader long after the last page has been reached. The author has not held back in any way and deals sensitively yet matter-of-factly with the atrocities and the sheer spirit of those who had the will and the almost inhuman strength to survive.

I thoroughly recommend this book, despite its harrowing nature, to anyone interested in this shameful period of human history and are curious to know what it was really like.

(Reviewed for Discovering Diamonds blogspot)

GOODREADS

May 30, 2018Laura**** rated it really liked it

Shelves: four-star

Although this was a fictional novel set during the Holocaust era, it read very much in the style of a real memoir. A relatively short story, but gripping all the same. Much of the aspects within the book have been taken from real life accounts of concentration camp survivors. It makes for uncomfortable reading at times.

This was the first book by this author I have read, and I would be tempted to read more by her. Her characters are realistic and her writing style and tone make the reading experience an easy one, despite the heavy subject matter.

A recommended read for fans of historical fiction and World War Two novels.
