There were also times when the reader was informed of things that were still unknown to the character, which is generally considered a no-no in writing these days. These days I noticed things like when the point of view changed from character to character from one paragraph to the next, something I now know is referred to as ‘head hopping’. It’s engaging and easy to lose myself in the story. I would have definitely given the book five stars when I first read it. These days even fiction writers are expected to be more politically correct, so as not to perpetuate societal ills such as racism, sexism, etc. Although, how much of it is a change in my own maturity and how much of it is a change in the way society thinks is questionable. I re-read it today (in ebook format), and it is interesting how different my views are now, as a 40 year old woman (yup, I turn 40 next week!) compared to when I was in my teens or early twenties. I still have the paperback copy of that novel that I first read. Prisoner of My Desire was always my favourite. I wouldn’t say I’ve read a LOT of Johanna Lindsey books, but I have read a few, mostly in my teens and early twenties.
The author of the article was noting the way Johanna Lindsey and her work was being remembered and noted in obituaries and mainstream press. Last month I read an interesting article by Jennifer Pokop about Johanna Lindsey who recently passed away.
