Rating: Summary: This book got me hooked Review: I had never heard of Jane until I picked this book off the shelf several years ago. It was the cover photo that caught my attention. From that point on I was hooked. I have every book she has written. She just has such a wonderful talent to weave a story with historical substance. I have not been disappointed in anything she has written.

Rating: Summary: Slow-going and Dull Review: I read A Gathering of Finches years ago. The story has stayed with me, as if I were remembering my own family's past.
Rating: Summary: The ultimate love story. Review: Jane Kirkpatrick transfered the story of Cassie Simpson with a poetic quality that I loved. I don't read very many books more than once and I read this one 3 times. She relies on substantial detail when it is needed and cuts back to very few words when that is more effective. The descriptions of "place" are very accurate and transform the reader so that you can actually feel the sea.Read and enjoy!
Rating: Summary: I read nearly a book a day, yet will never forget this story Review: Jane Kirkpatrick transports you in her books, bringing rich stories to life. I read this book about 18 months ago, yet it stands out in my mind as one of my top reads for the past decade.

Rating: Summary: Very excellent, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. Review: Jane Kirpaterick did a beautiful job writing this book and a enjoyed reading it so much. I live in the area close to the the Simpson estate at Shore Acres and go there often. It is a beautiful garden and very well kept. My grandfather, John Kruse, was a Master Shipbuilder for Asa Simpson so the book had a lot of meaning to me. I would love it if Jane could autograph it for me.
Rating: Summary: A Gathering of Finches Review: Once again Jane Kirkpatrick has touched my heart with her writing. I would and do recommend all of her books to friends and family.
Rating: Summary: A light enjoyable read Review: This love story was between two self-centered people who didn't truly know how to love so spent a lot of time being dishonest to each other and themselves. I enjoyed reading it but found it frustrating as well. I read it as if I were a fly on the wall watching it rather than feeling that I could identify with the characters. They seemed shallow and heartless. It was a quick read and it kept my attention but the plot just wasn't developed deeply.
