Sounds like a great book. I wish novels included maps like non-fiction books do. Somehow a book is easier to read when you can picture where it is taking place.
This fascinating historical novel sounds captivating. Thanks for this interesting giveaway.
I read your review in the Observer. This story is definitely compelling and special. Love the setting.
I love historical fiction. Thanks for offering the opportunity to win the book.
Thanks for this review - I look forward to reading it!
In a well-written book the reader becomes a part of the story by savoring the essence of the words as they flow from the page. One seeks a visual picture and a map or lot layout is sometimes necessary. Books about the outer banks intrigue a reader by allowing them to feel the fresh sea air and smell the fish and ocean water. I look forward to expanding my experience with authors who write about the outer banks.
NC is privleged to have such wonderful and talente authors. This sounds like a great read and I can't wait to suggest it to the other moms in my book club.
Thanks for the chance to win such an interesting book.
Michael Parker knows everything about the human heart.
