The very first review of my new novel “The Blind Luck” has been written on Amazon!
It has been less than a week since the launch but the feedback is very positive.
This is every author‘s dream -- to see that the manuscript turns into a real book, and the book into a meaningful reading. I am happy to post this first review for everyone to see it, and to raise the interest in the novel. It belongs to Adriana Renescu - a well regarded American writer, author of two powerful historical novels: “The Wolves of Pavlava” and “The Death of Rafael“ available also at Amazon.com:

This review is from: The Blind Luck (Paperback)
"Having read Diana Branisteanu's debut novel "Life Under the Dark Sky", I watched for the release of this second novel, "The Blind Luck", knowing that if her first novel was any indication, this one would both delight and provoke. Indeed it has. Branisteanu has the ability to take an ordinary life that is filled and moved by events that are common to most of us, take a slice of life, and make it
a moving and challenging story.
In "The Blind Luck" Lisa, the protagonist, faces many of the choices, decisions and consequences that we all do in our lives, in one form or another. She also, like everyone else, struggles and deals with the hand life has dealt her. She is almost defeated by the 'luck' fate gives her, but she's also victorious in vanquishing the obstacles thrown in her way by the same fate.
At the end, Branisteanu tells us a beautiful story that draws you in and makes one understand, and even feel, the emotions, the hurts and the joys of her protagonists. At times it feels as if she's telling us a parable, from which we must gather our own answers and conclusions, reflected off our own lives and experiences. There were times when I wanted to hug the characters (some of them...) and there were a couple of them that I really wanted to slap, and deservedly so. They so reminded me of people I knew...
It is an uplifting story, something I would read on the deck of a ship while cruising the seven seas. It put a smile on my face. And I couldn't put it down--once I started to read it, I did so until 3 am."
