Rating: Summary: A THOUGHT PROVOKING BOOK. . INTERESTING Review: I found this book hard to read, but worth the effort. ..It was a diffent kind of roamance than I am used to reading. .but very good.I would also hightly suggest that you read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. ..What a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. Literary agent, Carolyn Hopwood Blick "Stolen Moments " which is reminiscent of "Love Story" is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. Like"Love Story" it is about a dying woman who has found true love. It is the love story of the nineties."
Rating: Summary: A mystical, adventurous journey into Scotland's past. Review: This book has it all--from the feuding clans in the highlands to the forbidden love of Lorna and Ian to the battlefields of WW1 and the ghosts of Scotland's past. I found this book to be a very enjoyable read.
Rating: Summary: This book could be made into a brilliant movie... Review: This is a TRUE story about the unrequited love of a young man (Ian) and woman (Lorna) from feuding families. It is truly the epitome of the Scottish history that emphasizes the generations of Scots, and how their fueding was a typical way of life. The fueds were brought on by often real or sometimes imagined slights. The constant need to merely "stay alive/exist" led to cattle raids and sometimes the loss of an entire clan, depending on the slight! The MacTavish clan haunted generations with a curse for future clans: "Hatred our sword and feud our fire". During the Boer War in 1902, the clans put aside their tensions. Lorna MacNeil was engaged to Malcolm MacDuff, yet in love with Ian MacTavish. This story takes you to the battlefield in France and back to Scotland, using the "Glen of Spirits" to provide an eery feeling to the voice of this wonderful story. There are a number of startling moments, that made me exclaim out loud. A genuine look at Scottish History.
