Like kill her baby -purposely delaying it until she was further along in pregnancy just so the innocent baby would feel pain- with a coat hanger- just to get back at Larry. Noelle was an interesting character but I found reading her parts uncomfortable at times, because I couldn't imagine how someone could do some of the things she did. He's a charmer that's for sure and at times he has his 'good guy' moments but seriously ladies, he's NOT worth it.
Sure if I saw him I'd probably be drooling too but his personality can only be defined in these words, 'arrogant, selfish, womanizing jerk.' And then some. They both love the same man, Larry Douglas, though for the life of me I couldn't see why. Noelle and Catherine, the two main female characters were very different and yet very similiar too. It certainly didn't prepare me for what I got. And the blurb did sound intriguing but it didn't do the book justice. Though this probably wouldn't be something I'd choose from a pile of books initially, but because it was recommended to me I gave it a go.
It is available in the form of a paperback.It's the first Sidney Sheldon book I read, handed down to me by my mum. The reissue edition of The Other Side Of Midnight was published in 2005 by HarperCollins. The themes of obsession and jealousy are constantly highlighted throughout the book. She becomes a bone of contention for Noelle, who having risen high up in social ladder, plans to have Larry all to herself. She never had the courage to explore her sexuality in her youth, and so, became a social outcast with an inferiority complex.Ĭatherine eventually meets Larry and ends up marrying him. Catherine, on the other hand, is an insecure woman who comes from a family with broken dreams. After Larry forgets about her love, Noelle swears vengeance.
Noelle runs away to Paris where she meets the pilot, Larry Douglas, a person she falls in love with and who she remains obsessed with for the rest of her life. By the time she mature into a woman, his father sells her on the pretext of getting her a job as a model. She has an air of superiority about her, and nourishes great ambitions. Noelle Page is a born as a result of an extra-marital affair, and ends up blossoming into a beautiful woman. A thorough character sketch is presented for both these characters in terms of their upbringing, attitudes, ideologies, etc. Noelle Page and Catherine Alexander are the two main characters in this book, and the conflict between them is the main premise of the novel. The Other Side Of Midnight features a tale that explores deceit and manipulation, in the context of an obsession by a woman of power.
