Mary Mehan Awake

Rating:
Summary: Umm....okay.
Review: Many of the past previewers wrote about Mary becoming more human, and the words of the book told you that, but I never felt like I knew enough of Mary to really tell how much she changed. ( I did read the first book ). Mary Mehan did wake up, and I woke up too, after dozing while trying to make it through the unbelievably short book. But this is just my opion.

Mary Mehan Awake ( I do like the title, though ) is about Irish Mary also Marie. She survived the Civil War, as a nurse, though she isn't herself anymore, after losing her brother and others. So she gets a job in the country being an assistant to a scientist- or a guy who just likes to experiment- something of the sort. Working there, she meets someone she can communicate with. But she has to communicate differently. Because the only person who can compare with what she went through is deaf.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful
Review: This book was great. It was short, yet sweet, and eloquent. It is hard how to describe how well the author used the english language in this book. It is an awaking, as the title suggests. It is romantic and charming, yet self-empowering. There is little more to say other than try to prove to you how touching the book is and, especially if you like historical fiction, how nessesary it is to read it.

Summary: A lovely story
Review: _Mary Mehan Awake_ is the poignant sequel to _The Dreams of Mairhe Mehan_. Mairhe, who was a nurse during the Civil War, now goes by her American name, Mary, and she has left Washington DC work for a bird photographer in New York. Mary is beginning to emerge from the numbness that was a defense against the horrors of the war. The romance between Mary and Henry, a musician deafened by his stint in the war, is sweet and well done.
