Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green

Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green is an outstanding fantasy thriller.


My copy of Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green has 336 pages. Can you imagine that the whole book talks about events in three days? And not three full days.

Drinking Midnight Wine starts from Friday evening and ends on Sunday morning.  It took me longer than three days to finish Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green.

The hero, Tony Dexter, was on the way home. He fell in love with a beautiful lady in the same train.

Tony Dexter had fallen in love with this lady for long time, but hadn’t the courage to speak to her.

When the train reached the station, Tony Dexter and the beautiful lady alighted. It was raining hard. People were running for the buses and to their cars. Tony Dexter and the beautiful lady were still in the station.

The beautiful lady was no ordinary person. She was a powerful Being in human form. She opened the door to the magical world. She did not realize that Tony Dexter was watching her.

Tony Dexter followed her into the magical world.

When he woke up on Saturday, he did not realize that he was looking at the magical side of his town. He got a shock when the ATM spoke to him, and said that it like his face.

Tony Dexter discovered that he was a focus point. He would change world event.

The fantasy thriller climax on Saturday night, where he made decision to save the world from destruction by the Devil. He loved and still loved the beautiful lady, despite the knowledge of who she was.

Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green ended on Sunday morning. The beautiful lady returned his love. It was a nice, fairytale ending.

What I love about Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green is the many interesting quotes about life, and unfulfilled dreams of ordinary men and women.

I have written the following interesting quotes from Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green. It is as much to remind me that dull people leading dull life can experience great changes in their lives. Obviously Drinking Midnight Wine is a thriller, and nobody can experience the life-scattering change in the fantasy world.

However, ordinary people can have fairy-tale ending.

Quotes 7 from Drinking Midnight Wine by Simon Green

“Suffice to say that money and I seem to have only the most fleeting of relationships these days. I don’t understand where it all goes.”
