Product Description
"Do I sense the writing of a third book in this wonderful series? I sure hope so!"-She magazine on Daughters of an Amber Noon Late in the twenty-second century, 4,000 women escape the tyranny of a male-dominated Earth and colonize the planet of Maternas. Katherine V. Forrest's influential 1984 novel, Daughters of a Coral Dawn, told the story of this exodus. Her 2000 novel, Daughters of an Amber Noon, told the story of the women left behind on Earth. Now she returns to Maternas at last. Fifty years have passed, and the first generation born on Maternas has reached maturity. But their vision of a perfect world is very different from the vision of the founders of the Maternas colony. Katherine V. Forrest is the author of 15 novels, including the Daughters trilogy, the Kate Delafield mysteries and the romantic classic Curious Wine. She lives in San Francisco.

 Barely a star January 9, 2007
No easy to read at all. I think you would have to be the author to understand the book......
 Interesting August 1, 2006
Each and every book I read broadens my horizons and my knowledge base. No book is too good or too bad to read.
This is a sci-fi type of look at Forrest's work.
I enjoyed it along with the other ones.

An Extraordinary Finale April 27, 2005

I've been a fan of Katherine Forrest's writing since I first read Amateur City in the mid 1980s. No fan of science fiction, I read Daughters of a Coral Dawn (the beginning of what would become a trilogy that included Emerald Dusk) only because of my respect for her writing. I did not expect it to become one of my favorite novels, but it did. Daughters of an Emerald Dusk is more than merely a worthy follower to that extraordinary book, and its superb successor, Daughters of an Amber Noon. It is a book in which Forrest's writing moves to a new level of skill and craft and artistry. I found myself rereading passages just for the pleasure of her prose.
Forrest's characters are always a vital part of what makes all of her writing splendid, but seeing these characters, many of whom we know from the previous books, face the challenges that do with wit and honor and bravery is an extraordinary experience.
I won't say anything about the plot except that it took me to places I would never have imagined without once betraying the reader with cheap tricks and flashy games.
Daughters of an Emerald Dusk may just be Katherine Forrest's best novel to date, and that is saying something.
