Every bit as captivating as her first novel, Stark's second novel testifies yet again to her outstanding ability to create and develop the most compelling characters. You won't be able to put it down; I read it straight cover to cover and enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend "Another Different Life" to any reader looking for a rare literary treat...

After reading "Bring Us the Old People", I've been looking forward to Ms. Stark's second novel. I wasn't disappointed. "Another Different Life" is every bit as compelling. Gloria is a character worth getting to know. It is a great book! I highly recommend it. Jill

Gloria is one of the greatest characters I ever met. I have two teenage sons, and I really relate to the choices she has to make. I think women all over will understand what she's going through with Ricky. Plus there's a lot of suspense and a great ending. One of my new favorite books!

From the moment I read the opening sentances of this book I was hooked in. Maime pulled me into her reality in a way that very few characters ever have. I had been looking for a piece to do for Dramatic Interpretation in speech/debate when I came across it.

Marisa Kantor Stark did a wonderful job on this novel. And with this performance peice I won the position of 1st Alternate to the National Tournament from my state.

Truly, I have come to love Maime. I especially like the parts where she would flashback to a time in her past. There were so many themes in this book it was hard to cut some of them to make the 10 minute time limit.

Now, as a person who has memorized pieces of this novel by heart, I reccomend to the book not just as an award winning performance piece, but as a wonderful read.

Pick it up! Stark will not disappoint you.

An excellent novel that represents the reality of moral questions that faced so many during the Holocaust. Maimie's actions seem so easy to condemn at times and yet so disturbing to the reader who is forced to asked themselves about their own actions during such circumstances. Stark's use of flashbacks to tell the story is first rate. A thought provoking read.

As the grandson of Jewish, Polish Holocaust survivors who has spent countless hours listening to tales of fear and sorrow relating to both war-time and post-war life, I related very well to the themes and main character in Stark's book. I found the book to be very well-written and enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to Stark's next work - regardless of the subject matter. Congratulations on an excellent debut novel!
