'George Zidbeck gives us a gripping tale of a young woman who, trapped by culture and circumstances, endures a loveless marriage and a life unfulfilled. As he takes us along her journey from a naive teenager to a mature adult, we admire her perseverance. The way that she copes with her loneliness, her husband's alcoholism, her increasing use of alcohol, and their infidelities leaves the reader hungry to see what happens in Book 2 of Lady Gemini. This is a riveting read! -Philip Stein, Chief of Operations, Ret., L.A. County Probation Department
'George Zidbeck's first novel is a fascinating family saga that captures life in Panama during the mid 20th Century. Populated by compelling characters and told from an insider's perspective, this novel offers a nuanced view of the contrasting cultures and landscapes that existed in the Republic of Panama and the American Canal Zone. -Carlos Ledson Miller, Author of Panama; Belize; and Stroke
'As a recovering alcoholic, I 'watched' the dark shade of alcoholism descend inexorably into Lady Gemini's life. The author led me through a labyrinth of the protagonist's hopes and dreams from her childhood on.I witnessed Rose displaying an indomitable will as she struggled against impossible odds. We are left to discover in Book 2 if she at least breaks even. -Ron P.
