The Paris Winter
by Imogen Robertson
Slow Go (7/15/2014)
The Paris Winter truly is a long winter, too slow & drawn out for my taste. The book would definitely appeal to art lovers & knowledge of the French language. A little disappointed, but at least finished the novel.
The Deepest Secret
by Carla Buckley
So - So Read (12/17/2013)
Was looking forward to reading this book, but was extremely disappointed. Found the story very slow at times, the main character, Tyler, was very difficult to envision or relate to at times. Definitely a challenge to try and finish this book, would not recommend to my book club.
Letters from Skye
by Jessica Brockmole
Pleasantly surprised (6/25/2013)
The format of this book took awhile to grow on me, but then it engulfed me. The letters written by Elspeth to Davey and Davey's replies became intimate conversations that the reader is privileged to read. At first the letters written by Margaret to Paul during 1940, felt like an intrusion on the real story of Elspeth and Davey. Soon it became apparent how very important Margaret's letter were between her mother, Paul and especially her Uncle. What a wonderful story told through letters, which in this day and age has become a lost art. Wonderful book, would highly recommend it to my book club!
