Review

“Love’s ability to transcend the most difficult of circumstances and persist is best exemplified by this heartwarming story. While the story opens up with Matthew Crane on a flight to Aruba, the entire story is narrated as a flashback. Matthew & Carol Cranes’ love story is decidedly central to the novel’s progression. When Matthew is hospitalized with an unbreakable slumber, the exploration of the scientific and metaphysical is equally intriguing.
The narrative is undoubtedly character-driven and flows seamlessly, propelled by an abundance of shorter, descriptive paragraphs, energetic dialogue, and vivid imagery. Overall, the narrative paints the greatest of “what-if” questions, asking readers to conjure how they would react if time would freeze for an extended period only for them while the world and relationships continue to move forward and evolve. Solomon’s narrative is unique in its ability to take an age-old mantra of love being tested and presenting it through the lens of medical phenomena.” – The U.S. Review of Books
“I was privileged to read the manuscript of Under The Divi Tree. This love story is an unbelievable suspenseful page turner, with a surprise ending. I only put it down to pick up a tissue. If you want a good cry while laughing at the same time, this book is a must read.” – Patsy Glaser

I had trouble putting it down wondering how the main character would get out of his predicament. Each chapter left me with more reasons to continue reading. It is a real page turner. But it also left me wondering if this medical condition could really happen. That was the frightening part. It was a quick and easy read.” – Jennifer Berkoff
