Who we are is often influenced by where we are born, and by the family that raises us, the friends who surround us, and the folks who rule us; in America, we may not have an acknowledged caste system, yet one exists the moment that power or privilege, trial or tribulation, disease or destitution cradles us to its nourishing bosom. Tony Siciliani is a young man of humble means who has lost his health. He begins an obsessive quest to find a cure for his ailment. He feels isolated from a world that seems not to value a man who is ill and has no family. Lake Seville is a young, beautiful heiress who lives the lifestyle of the fabulously wealthy. She goes wherever she wants, owns whatever she wants, does whatever she wants; then, she abruptly loses her fortune and her health, and eventually meets Tony, whom she ordinarily would have shunned. Now, Tony and Lake will try to help each other discover who they really are, endeavor to bridge the societal chasm that exists between them, and in so doing, find out if they are truly able to love each other.

This is yet another book by Ray Dacolias which I have come across and have to admit, that despite sharing similarities with his short stories book, What We All Have offers different perspectives. I was given a free copy of this book in return for an honest review. The language gets descriptive and the author acquires a fatalistic approach which at times could get rather disturbing and send the reader down the path of depression. But then what is a book if it doesn't leave any impact on the reader?Tony and Lake undergo changes - both spiritually and physically, however their actions and thoughts are constantly reinforced by selfishness, self pity and indecisiveness. In picturing male protagonist the author employs long passages with ruminations and dark comments bordering on insanity. We all think we have chronic illnesses, sore spots and headaches but what we see in this book is so extreme, so inexplicable, hyperbolic and inflated. Lake is introduced under different circumstances. During the course of the book she gets to know herself better sacrificing everything she valued and finds love - a finale I would have never predicted; that was an unexpected twist. Allusions, similes, personifications - the book is filled with them. The writing technique struck me as complex and thus enjoyable. The only thing that I cannot come to terms with is writer's interest in vivid descriptions. Illnesses are not pretty nor there are words that one can use to picture them in an enticing way. Yet there is always place for metaphors and there are ways around excess of boldness.From what I have perceived, the author leaves many messages along the way. Fighting self centered urges, finding salvation in religion, falling back onto old, perilous habits and selfless love.I enjoyed this book as it has left an imprint on me. It has changed my mind about the writer's style that was formed while reading his previous book. I would recommend it because reading this novel, for some, is very much like looking in the mirror.

What We All Have By Lennette I was given a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.What We All Have by Ray Dacolias is an inspiring account of how illness not only eats away at a person’s physical health, but it also erodes faith and hope as well. When Tony is not at work he spends his time researching all manner of materials to find a cure for the dreaded disease that has wracked his body and ruined his life for nine years. His youthful looks, thick hair and overall handsomeness are a thing of the past as he looks in the mirror at the shell of a man looking back at him. Tired of doctors and their less than caring attitudes, Tony knows now that he must save himself. It is on one of his fact finding missions that he runs into Lake, an obvious woman of means who is also ill. Lake was once the belle of every ball; the one who possessed beauty beyond description; and the one with access to jets, mansions, and all manner of automobiles. She now looks at the scrawny and pale apparition with limp hair in her mirror and pines away for the riches and beauty that are rightfully hers as the young and rich heiress to millions. When she happens upon Tony in a bookstore, she is broke, bitter, and in the foulest of health. Follow these two as they spar with each other with bitter words that soon turn into words of comfort. As two people depressed because of their diseases, they begin to realize that only they can understand and love each other. Find out the road they travelled to help others less fortunate and how this helped to heal their souls. This story is inspirational because it shows how one can overcome adversity and live life to the fullest. Tony’s illness was a mystery, while we come to know what caused Lake’s illness. An old man gave Tony some valuable advice to gain healing, while Lake finds healing thousands of miles away. As the story came to an end, I cried heartfelt tears and even though most of the book is depressing, the ending is worth it. Mr. Dacolias stayed true to his writing style with exceptionally long and sometimes difficult sentences, but I loved it anyway. I know what to expect from him as an author and I have gained wisdom from all of his books. I recommend this to those who want to experience substance and love on a challenging level.

The writing style is as always for this author' a beautifully enigmatic mix of poetic prose and stark descriptions which emblazon images upon your mind; sometimes stark, sometimes though provoking and sometimes magical. In truth, it took me a while to understand if this book was a collection of individual short stories, separate introduction sto longer stories or all the same story looked at in different ways and angles. I find this a strength of a writer however and extremely engaging and intriguing. It is not didactic, it does not attempt to lead you by the hand and answer every question you have. It is cloaked in a sense of wonder, of foreboding, almost like figuring out a puzzle; a rich lyrical puzzle which is a joy to decipher.The knowledge of the subject matter here is immesne and although at times heart rendering to read, the author is brave with the topic and good, bad, sick, healthy, spiritual or physical; the words are real, are natural and infused with the essence of our being; of what we all have. The book has a depth and gravity to it I do not see often enough in trhe modern day and the author is fast becoming one of my favourites. I simply could not put it down, I read it from cover to cover in one sitting, which is probabl;y the best review anybody could give in itself. There is an ageless elegance to the style of writing and one I feel, should get to a wide audience. It is a great book and I thank the author for writing it and for giving me a great evening reading his work.
