Not normally my sort of thing, but I did really enjoy it and, unusually for me, it reduced me, (or perhaps exalted me) to tears.

Thank you so much! Received as a RABK and sat for weeks with packages from ebay for my son's birthday. Sorry it took so long to journal it. - I hope it doesnt make me cry....I hate that! haha Thanks again

Picked up at the Fleet meeting today.

This is very different from my usual kind of reading so I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. The characters are very interesting and strong and there's plenty to think about.

Update: 2 Octoer 2007 - I'm taking this book to the meeting in Chertsey this evening.

Picked up at the Chertsey Meet last night.
Available via bookmooch.com - please mooch from there if you are interested.

Thank you! It was happily stamped all over, not in the least by the mailperson.
I look forward to reading this book.

I read it almost in one go. It was rich, beautiful, thrilling - but I liked the film better, I have to confess. In this book Maggie is perpetuately in a state of irritation with her father's so called heathen ways, grasping hold of her christian religion, refusing all support if it doesn't come from her rosary and her prayers. This continued thoughout the book and became in turn a source of irritation to me. Shut up alright, I wanted to snap to her. Nevertheless, a rich novel. Thanks for sending it to me!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Tijdens het Oogstfeest. During the Harvest Festival.
