The Train to Estelline: The First Novel in a Trilogy (Lucinda Richards Trilogy)

Rating:
Summary: Not the best in the Trilogy....
Review: After reading the reviews on all three books in this series I bought all three. The Train to Estelline is a bit chopped up and doesn't really flow very well. Not my favorite type of read. They story is an enjoyable one with many things to learn about life on a ranch in West Texas. A very hard life, and strong people. I can only tell you to read this but don't stop here.... the best is yet to come. A Place Called Sweet Shrub is the best in the series.

Summary: Disappointing and odd typesetting
Review: The book was highly recommended to my twelve year old daughter. Because Annie dislike fantasy and science fiction, I purchased the trilogy based on a brief overview. Annie likes adventure, problem solving, and "chick flicks" She adored Legally Blonde and I hoped that

Summary: The Train to Estelline
Review: TRAIN TO ESTELLINE is the second Jane Roberts Wood book I read, after A PLACE CALLED SWEET SHRUB. Both are delightful. The letter/diary style of TRAIN chronicles the life of a young woman leaving home to begin her teaching career at the turn of the century. The reader feels like something of a voyeur following events while being privy to the private thoughts of the young woman. It is a charming book which leaves one a little envious of the innocence, the naiveté of Americans living in that period.
