The Other Side of Midnight is a 1973 novel by Sidney Sheldon. The book reached No.1 on the New York Times Best Seller list. Sheldon was quoted in a 1992 interview as saying, “I try to write my books so the reader can’t put them down. I try to construct them so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she has to read just one more chapter. It’s the technique of the old Saturday afternoon serial: Leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter.” Reuploaded Thanks to floarea
