Wonderfully evocative 30 May 2008
Format:Paperback
Linda Gillard's third published novel has two marvellous settings, including a beautifully-created Edinburgh; and a wonderful, spiky, difficult heroine. I wanted to bang her head together with another character's a few times, but that was because I CARED about her! The supporting cast is wonderful and provides some giggles and sweet moments. The added dimension of describing a character's experiences without using visual imagery gives the book a depth and interest that the casual reader might not expect - wonderfully evocative. An excellent read and highly recommended.

By GilPhil
Format:Paperback
By turns funny, heartwrenching and heartstopping, this novel is never less than engrossing. To involve the reader so completely and convincingly in Marianne's story is a terrific achievement. Marianne is a wonderful heroine - and this is coming from a reader who usually wants to slap heroines within five pages. She's spiky, occasionally bad-tempered, endlessly angry for very good reasons, yet she's also resourceful, independent, emotionally mature and vulnerable. She's real. The gorgeous Keir is not more than a match for her - he's just a perfect match, and a perfect fit. As for Louisa and Garth, they're terrific. I loved this book - and I wasn't sure, right to the last chapter, how it would end.

Format:Paperback
Linda Gillard has done it again, in spades. Marianne is feisty and believable, refusing to be defeated by the many blows life has dealt her. Keir is another gorgeous Gillard hero, tough and all male, yet sensitive, - in more ways than one. With the feel and smells and sounds of Skye, who needs visual description? The plot was so exciting and scary I was afraid to read on towards the end, but was glad I had. There's a nice sub love story between Marianne's sister, Louisa, and Garth the reformed Goth too. A wonderful, truly romantic book, in every sense. I do hope it becomes the best-seller it deserves to be.

This was an odd little book and I didn't know quite what it wanted to be when it grew up. It was part romance, part magical realism and part writing experiment. Read more
