Mistry does something that only the really natural writers can do: without apparent effort, manipulation or contrivance, he creates characters you like instantly and will gladly follow for as long as the novel leads. The book is about an Indian family during the years of Indira Ganhdi's rule; it's also a study of the times, its politics and corruption, and was especially interesting for me, who knows so little about life in the rest of the world. It had to be a good book: after I read
Such a Long Journey, I wanted to go right out and buy a plane ticket and see India for myself.

His young daughter falls ill; his promising son defies his father’s ambitions for him. He is the one reasonable voice amidst the ongoing dramas of his neighbours. One day, he receives a letter from an old friend, asking him to help in what at first seems like an heroic mission. But he soon finds himself unwittingly drawn into a dangerous network of deception.

A Well Crafted Read!.......2007-09-17
I very much enjoyed this novel set in India during the Indira Ghandi days. It primarily regards a family and their struggles and interactions with others and truly gives an illuminating picture of how things were then in India. Mistry crafts the characters extremely well. Albeit they may be flawed in ways, they are most interesting and one senses their humanity and understands their motivations. A very interesting story that I would very much recommend. I looked forward to reading it each day as it would draw me in and is a fascinating read.
Much finer than "A Fine Balance".......2006-10-24
Unlike many of the other reviewers, I was disappointed with "A Fine Balance," which I read after this book. I thought it was trite, melodramatic and, in the end, depressing -- all of which, of course, made it a prime book to be chosen for "Oprah," though I admit it was a fast read. But to what avail, if you don't like the book? I got rid of my copy as soon as I could.
By contrast, I've read "Such a Long Journey" three times and still love it. I'd agree that plot here is far subjugated to character. But the nuanced, subtle portraits of the family members, the description of their community and building, and the depiction of life in India at that time all make this a beautiful, well-written book. It steps back from the frequent depictions of Indian misery that crop up so frequently they're becoming a cliche, and by focusing on one normal, struggling family, really show a much more vivid and enduring picture of life.
VIVID...INTRICATE PORTRAIT..AMAZINGLY TRUE TO ITS FORM.........2006-05-09
THE AUTHOR IS QUITE TALENTED. WEAVES A SUPREME BLEND OF STORYTELLING AND INTRICATE WEB OF UNDERSTANDING. PAINTS THE PERIOD QUIET WELL. HE DESERVED THE BOOKER FOR HIS WRITINGS. HE IS STILL UNDERAPPRECIATED AND IS RELATIIVELY UNKNOWN. I RECOMMEND HIS NEXT NOVEL : A FINE BALANCE, WHICH IS WRITTEN ON AN EPIC SCALE AND DWARFS THE LENGTH AND BREADH OF THIS BOOK. ROHINTON MISTRY IS A GREAT AUTHOR AND SHOULD BE GIVEN HIS DUE.
Another amazing read.......2006-03-03
I read this book after A Fine Balance. Although I found A Fine Balance to be the most moving and brilliantly contructed novel I have ever read, I preferred this book as it didn't tear me apart emotionally as much as AFB. I adored the characters and was touched by the protagonist's kindness towards Tehmul when he (SPOILER) discovers the whereabouts of the doll. If I have any criticism at all, I felt that the so-called "plot" of the book (according to its cover), i.e. the conflict between father and son, was underplayed. I would assume this is more to do with the publisher's blurb than Mr. Mistry's storytelling. A compelling, touching read that I was sorry to finish...
"Luck is the spit of gods and goddesses.".......2005-05-17
Sometimes compared to Dickens or Victor Hugo for the strength of his descriptions, Rohinton Mistry uses "ordinary" men and women as his protagonists and fills his novels with the sights, sounds, smells, and color of India. Depicting his characters as neither saints nor sinners, he involves the reader in their lives as they try to survive the complexities of their culture.
In this novel, Gustad Noble and his wife Dilnavaz, living in a congested apartment building in Bombay, try to lead good lives and inspire their children during Indira Gandhi's rule in the 1970s, with all its political, professional, and social upheaval. India is on the verge of war with the Muslims of Pakistan, and though Gustad, a Parsi, is aware of political chicanery, he is far more pre-occupied with having his son accepted at a school of technology, doing his job as a bank supervisor, and supporting his family. Constant blackouts and continually deteriorating conditions on the street add to the frustrations of Gustad's life.
Then Jimmy Bilimoria, an old friend, asks Gustad for help, claiming that he is training freedom fighters in Bangladesh to act on behalf of the Indian government against Pakistani "butchers." Gustad reluctantly agrees to use his position at the bank to deposit money to a secret account, but he soon finds himself enmeshed in a spiral from which he cannot break out, his life turned upside down.
Throughout the novel, the wall outside Gustad's apartment building symbolizes the larger world of Bombay and parallels some aspects of Gustad's own life. At the outset, it is used as a latrine, breeding illness in the neighborhood but keeping the noise and tumult of the street out of the apartment house. When Gustad persuades a sidewalk artist to paint it, he depicts scenes from all the religions of India, and the wall becomes a shrine--until the government decides to widen the road and tear it down. Gustad's personal crisis and the fate of the wall intersect in a conclusion both moving and profound.
Though this novel lacks the grand scale of A Fine Balance, it is a beautifully constructed and emotionally involving story of a small family trying to live meaningful lives against almost overwhelming odds. The characters are finely drawn, and the plot, though not "exciting," reflects the traumas of an ordinary man and his wife caught up in events and crises not of their own making. Wry and often humorous in its observations of people and circumstances, this early novel by Mistry has all the ingredients which make his later novels so memorable. Mary Whipple

Could not hold my interest...slow first half..........2003-12-24
Jason Donavon was cursed. The only way he knew to lift the curse was to find the werewolf that had bitten him and then kill it. The wolf within him was getting stronger. Jason feared that he would soon lose his humanity forever.
She was called Tala Soaringbird by her people. She was "the chosen one". She was granted the powers to protect her hidden people from "the outside world" and from the Sica (A.K.A. the werewolves who feed on humans). As Chosen, Tala's duty was to seek out the evil ones and destroy them. It was during such a confrontation that she met Jason.
By rights Tala was to kill Jason. But she could see that Jason was still in pure form. He had not yet given in to the beast or tasted human blood. And Jason did not know it, but Tala already owed Jason a debt. In order for Tala to repay the debt, she risked everything.
* The plot sounded so wonderful and I had enjoyed the story of Jason's brother in a previous story. However, this book simply could not hold my attention at all. The characters never became real to me. I found myself getting bored and putting the book down often. As much as I enjoyed this author's previous work I can not recommend this one. *

The second half is better than the first........2003-07-28
It has been three years since Jason Donovan and his brother Rick were attacked by a wolf that was more than a mere wolf. Three years spent by Jason searching for the creature responsible for cursing them to answer the call of the moon. Once he finds it, Jason hopes to kill it and release he and his brother from their prison, so that they may be fully human again, not half wolf.
Then Jason is attacked by another werewolf and rescued by Tala Soaringbird. But when a second werewolf shows up to attack Tala, Jason instinctively leaps to her defense. He awakens to find himself her prisoner in a secret tribal world hidden deep inside the woods of Canada. There the mystery of who changed him and how he must learn to live with his new identity is revealed.
Drive-In Movie critic Joe Bob Briggs has a routine where he complains of "Way too much plot getting in the way of the story." Call of the Moon suffers a tad from that. Less time is spent on the romance between Jason and Tala and more on Jason learning the ropes of his environment. Granted there is a reason for this, but one would hope for more romance in a romance novel. There is some nice humor and the twists are credible, so the book is not a complete wash-out. Four stars might be a tad over generous, but the book left me hoping the author would revisit her characters. Tala's brother especially, who is in need of a strong woman. Recommended strictly to werewolf fans.
A nice book.......2003-01-08
I found this book to be a good read. But it did not hold my interest. I had a hard time getting in the charaters' minds. I kept wishing that Tala was stronger. I think that Sherrilyn Kenyon or Susanne Brockmann are both better at the adventure/romamce story.
More! More!.......2002-12-26
Jason has fought the curse a werewolf's bite placed upon him and his brother for three years. When another wolf attacks him, a strange beauty saves him from her, taking the injured man to her home and her tribe, despite the fact that it is forbidden to bring outsiders to the People.
Tala is the Chosen of a tribe of warriors who seem to belong out of time. She has no knowledge of Jason's world, but their lack of mutual culture is no barrier to the attraction that sizzles unspoken between them from the first. Nor is the fact that Tala is supposed to kill Jason as her duty to protect her people a thing that stands between them. Rather than destroy Jason, she seeks to heal him, to help him control the beast that would steal his humanity. At every step of the way, she must fight with her brother for control of the situation, and also fight herself. Passion and love are forbidden to the Chosen, else their unique powers that protect the clan are lost. Love, duty, secrets, and danger form an intoxicating mix of turmoil and passion that is destined to explode, the fallout of which is only death.
* Jason's long awaited story is one that is hard to put down. Mixing Brigadooon and Witness for feel, this novel is compelling, passionate, and even sweet. The tormented impossibility of the love herein will make your heart ache, and the surprise ending will make you rejoice. Let us hope that Ms. Thompson is not done with the wolves yet. *

Nuns, mad houses, and batty aunts--Katherine Kingsley flirts with some deliciously loony elements, but manages to keep them from commandeering this Regency-set romance of a dissolute younger son, Hugo Montagu, who wants to clean up his act but can't quite stick to his good intentions. He's trying to finagle an escape from a whopping new gambling debt when fate hands him an irresistible temptation--he learns by chance that a beautiful mad woman is about to inherit a fortune. Since getting married seems an obvious part of his reformation, and since one look at the mad woman, Meggie Bloom, arouses in him a powerful attraction, he decides to propose marriage to her. Of course, Meggie's not mad at all. In fact, her open enthusiasm for life is exactly what Hugo needs. But there's lots of fun along the way before they realize that. Call Down the Moon is a sequel to Once Upon a Dream, featuring Hugo's brother, Rafe. --Ellen Edwards
Book Description
Hailed by Romantic Times as "a miracle worker," bestselling, award-winning author Katherine Kingsley brings her remarkable powers of storytelling and enchantment to this breathtaking new novel.
With a shadowy past and only dreams for her future, Meggie Bloom was tending the lost souls at Woodbridge Sanitarium when the handsome stranger's cobalt gaze awakened her to a woman's desire. Suddenly the mind-reading gifts that made Meggie an outcast deserted her. She couldn't read Lord Hugo Montagu, yet he haunted her dreams. Then he magically returned to offer her freedom--if she would become his wife....
Marriage was unthinkable for the notorious rake Hugo Montagu--until he lost everything on a bet. Meggie Bloom didn't know she was about to inherit a fortune. But he did. Nothing could have prepared him for the deep passions and surprising mysteries Meggie's innocence would unlock in him. But could an extraordinary woman's love transform him into a man of honor and make him worthy of a wife who could see into his soul, make him believe in the impossible and...

Interesting.......2003-06-25
In "Call Down the Moon," Kingsley portrays an unlikely love between an orphaned girl with a supernatural ability and an irresponsible aristocrat facing potential ruin from excessive living. Hugo Montagu is trying to reform and get his life together. But like many gambling addicts, Hugo finds it hard not to go back to his old ways. Circumstances eventually force him to find a way to recoup his losses, which leads to Meggie Bloom. He convinces her that he wants to marry her because he fell in love with her at first sight. Meggie, who is very sheltered and naive, believes him. Meggie believes in Hugo's noble character which helps him to reform. He eventually falls in love with her, but is afraid of his lies catching up with him. Thus, the stage is set for discoveries of betrayal, reconciliation and eventually, the happy ending (which is why we read this stuff, right?).
The supernatural factor adds an interesting sub-plot. I admit that I had to suspend my disbelief at some of the "coincidences" in the book. But I enjoyed Hugo and Meggie's blooming romance because I found myself cheering for Hugo to become the better man and truly deserve Meggie's love.
very very sweet story.......2002-11-10
This is the first book I've ever read from Katherine Kingsley and I really love it that I start hunting for all of her books once I finished reading it.
Wonderful 3rd book in the series.......2002-03-06
This is the 3rd book in the series. I loved the other two but I really found this one to be the best. This is Hugo's story. He is the younger brother to Rafe who was the hero in "Once Upon a Dream".
Hugo has finally decided tho settle down. He has quit gambling and buys an estate. Nearby this estate is a sanitarium which his mother has asked him to visit in order to find out how one of the patients is doing and to deliver a check. He goes very reluctlantly. While there he sees a vision. An angel walks by the window and their eyes meet and he is left very shaken. He can't get out of there fast enough. He flees to London where he falls back into his old life of gambling and now has lost his fortune and his new home in one hand. He must now marry for money. He soon finds out that the angel he saw at the sanitarium is a missing heiress and is very wealthy. He convinces her to marry and the adventure begins. He never really knows what hits him.
The angel is Meggie. She is not a patient but an orphan that was sent to work at the sanitarium. She can read minds but when she sees Hugo she can't read him at all. She is very strangly effected by him and when he comes back to get her she thinks he's mad. She has no idea of her new found wealth and thinks he wants to marry her because he has fallen in love with her at first sight. She soon realizes that she loves him but is afraid to tell him for fear of his discovering her gift.
There are two wonderful aunties in this story and we get to find out a bit of what has happened to Rafe and Lucy. This story has a lot of humor in it and the love scenes are hot and steamy. I liked the way Katherine Kingsley made both the hero and the heroine human with emotions that can go awry at any time. I will definately reread this book many times. I can't wait to read other books from her.
Ok book, redeemed by interesting heroine and plot device..........2001-05-26
I have to confess from the outset that I am not usually fond of paranormal Regencies, although I have made the occasional exception here and there. So, if you don't like paranormal elements, this might not be the book for you. CALL DOWN THE MOON has a wonderful title (appropriate given both the heroine's supposed insanity and her strange pet); it has a fascinating heroine and some wonderfully zany relatives and servants. So what is wrong? The hero. If you don't like heros who behave irresponsibly through most of the book, this is not the book for you. While Hugo (brother of the Duke who appears as the hero in ONCE UPON A DREAM) is a scapegrace, a gambler who has wasted his inheritance, and who cold-bloodedly plans to marry an apparently crazy heiress for her heir, he is not actually as bad as he seems. Kingsley does a fine job in showing how addicts can be tempted easily, especially by supposed friends. Hugo's decision to court someone he believes to be insane and illegitimate is a result of his succumbing to temptation. I found this plot device both interesting and believable.
What I found hard to take was that the heroine would fall hopelessly in love with him, despite his belief that she was both insane and a dimwit. And I also found his wilful blindness to her sanity, her intelligence and all her excellent qualities hard to take. This is Hugo's book, but we do learn a bit more about his family, including the cause of his father's suicide and the effect it has had on the survivors. [Contrary to what some reviewers wrote, we also learn a bit more about Raphael and Lucy]. I read this book first, and I have to admit that I had an entirely different picture of the way Raphael courted Lucy...
A good read, but with a rather flawed hero. And, as others have pointed out, there is no assurance that Hugo has learned that he will never be entirely free from gambling, nor has he learned to fully appreciate his wife. I thought this novel badly needed an epilogue, showing that he had indeed reformed, learned to deal with his gambling addiction, and also learned to treat his wife as an equal.
More like 3 1/2 stars..........2001-03-10
This is the sequel of Once Upon A Dream, story of Hugo Montagu, brother of Raphael in OUAD. Even in the prequel, Hugo was described as irresponsible, immature, rebellious & constantly in trouble. He gambles excessively, have had many duels from angry husbands who their wives he caroused. His brother always bails him out of trouble & he was eventually exiled to Paris. When he finally returned to London, he supposedly have changed or wanted to change, at least. He wanted his mother and his brother to be proud of him. He wanted to buy his own estate, settle down and live a simple life. His mother was still of course skeptical about all his ideas of the so called "change" and there is yet a lot that remains to be seen....
Everything seems to be looking good for him until Hugo got lured back to the gambling table and lost everything he's got. He was even considering marrying an ugly but rich heiress who is quite taken by him when he was in Lonson. Then he saw Meggie Bloom in a mental institution when his mother sent him to stand for her while she recuperates from her flu. He also found out that Meggie was about to inherit a large sum of money from her long lost father. Better a beautiful crazy looney heiress than an ugly one, right? so the scheme begun...
I specially like Meggie Bloom, the heroine of this book. She is not only attractive but tender hearted, well educated, witty & saucy when needed to be. Since she lived in an orphanage then the Sanitarium all her life, Meggie is innocent and somehow quite naive about the outside world. It's so amusing when Hugo believed her daft, meanwhile she continues to act or talk like one thinking this is how Hugo or husbands prefers their wife to be. I enjoyed the secondary characters: the wolf, Sister Agnes, the Aunties and the overall plot. However, sad to say, Hugo, the hero isn't too likable inspite all the reasons and excuses given... I kindda understand his character and somehow, i felt a bit sorry for him. He tries so hard to change yet he keeps getting himself in trouble. Meggie is the only one who seems to see his good sides. In fact, that is all she sees. To her, Hugo is an angel. Her savior, her Prince. She sees his potentials & this encourages him to try even harder. Kindda sad yet irritating and frustrating at the same time... Oh well, this is probably the reaction Katherine Kingsley wanted the readers to have. Hugo might not be all too likable compared to the other heros in all the historical romance I've read but he is quite realistic. I guess, his flaws makes him more real and if you have read ONCE UPON A DREAM, his character is actually consistent to his role there as well.
My disappointments about this book is the very short appearance of Rafe and the no appearance of Lucy at all. Rafe and Lucy is the H/H is the first book, OUAD. They are actually the main reason I've gotten this book. I wanted to read updates of the two. I also wondered what happend to Lucy's two stepsisters. I know that they were from another book story but it would have been nice to read updates about them anyhow. And lastly, this book didn't have any epilogue... so then what happend to them after they had their confession, pledge love and devotion? children? It would be nice to read what happend to them in few years after that... perhaps a mention of whether Hugo was true to his word and really did changed or not... It just ended a bit abrupt in my opinion. There should have been more proof that Hugo is a changed man. He said his gambling days were over. Ummm, but this is what he said once before yet he was tempted back so easily.... there should have been an incident towards the end of this book to proved that his word of promises is acted upon or perhaps in epilogue. (I hate for Meggie to end up broke due to his gambling, considering it's all her money to begin with. ugh! lol)
<--- see, to think this way at the end of a book? i say, this is how unconvince I am. sorry. The book also mentioned introducing Meggie to the London Ton and how they would go about it. But the plans was just told and never acted upon... Wouldn't it be nice to read about that part too? The Ton's reaction and so on.... I felt so sorry for Meggie in the beginning. She's such a lovely character (inside and out) that you just can't help wishing her childhood was different... and towards the end, Hugo just wasn't convincing enough for me to feel he deserves Meggie at all.
Well, despite my above complaints, the book overal is a good read. There is some humor, some love and some romance.... but I liked ONCE UPON A DREAM way better than this one.
