Editorial Review:
I wrote this as a sequel to'Keano's Sister', a story in my book'Issi's (and other) Tales. I do not normally write sequels but many readers asked for it, so here it comes. The story also stands quite well on its own as a tale of wanting something but having the truth stand in one's way.
Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Charming and vulnerable Comment: I agree with the previous reviewer. This is a charming tale that beautifully charts those first date nerves. John (the main character) is touchingly vulnerable as he awaits Angie's arrival. It's nice to read a story where a man is allowed to have vulnerabilities, and the story shows that the anticipation can be half the pleasure.
By Sally Quilford, author of Eves of Destruction - Revised Edition Customer Rating: Summary: The sweet essence of enduring wavelengths.... Comment: This situation has played itself out time and again throughout countless generations. Guy adores girl from a distance only to find out she had been doing likewise. It's an everyman dream, and its realization is an essence that is matched only by a few prima facie life moments - first kiss, marriage, the birth of a child, to name a couple. Anthony Waugh has chosen a topic of impact for his story Waiting for Angie.
From its nervous start, to the much anticipated meeting, one can nod in absolute agreement and vicarious remembrances, yet the story doesn't let the reader off that quickly or easily. For Waugh has incorporated some subtle plot twists that generate a level of humor which tweaks at first, causing the reader to think that the protagonist may have unwittingly stepped into a steaming pile of embarrassment. However, the effect, though somewhat uncomfortable, resolves itself splendidly with a sense of good natured relief.
Give Waiting for Angie and try, and see if you don't find yourself recollecting similar moments of your own life. Customer Rating: Summary: HEARTS INCLINED... Comment: Matters of the heart are usually some of the trickiest things to navigate. One is never certain what to say to get the desired result or to make the proper impression. It is made even worse when youth is in your favor and you are without style and flourish. In the end, the fullness of your intentions carry you over the edge.
Waiting for Angie is some such story of great expectations and desire.
Mr. Waugh has touched on a bit of all of us, at some point in our lives when our hearts were inclined to wait for love. Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Comment: This is a wonderful and touching little story. I am glad I've had the opportunity to read it. Anthony Waugh certainly displays his ability to weave a really entertaining tale. Five stars! Customer Rating: Summary: Remembering Comment: If you can't understand, remember, or even know exactly how it feels to be hopelessly and stumbling-blind in love then please read this story.
If you remember very well how it feels then please this story.
In other words please read this wonderful, sweet and touching story of how we should all feel at least once in our lives. Its very clear that Anthony Waugh understands the heart and how it works, how it hurts, how it triumphs.
