Where’e’er I go, my Soul shall stay with thee: ’Tis but my Shadow that I take away;’ First off, the delicious history in this was my favorite part. I loved how the author intertwined real historical events and people while adding artistic flair. Amazing. Far more than most of my friends have ra...
A book within a book...I thought this book had a lot of similarities to "The Outlander" books, in that both are historical romances that have a way of connecting both a modern day plot with the rise (and fall) of the jaccobites of the 1700's and returning the deserving Stewart King(s) to their right...
I loved this book! My mom and sister both read it and recommended it to me. Gorgeous writing, gorgeous setting, and a unique plot winding historical fiction and the present into one beautiful package, with some romance thrown in to make the past come alive.Carrie is a writer (I just love books abo...
The only way for me to cover how I feel about this book, is to bring up a lot of spoilers, so you've been warned. I picked up Kearsley's The Firebird thanks to an Audible sale, and I was about to start it when I decided to check out some basic information about it, which is when I found out it's t...
I don't often read historical fiction and when I find a gem like this I wonder why I don't read it more often.

This is an amazing book! The main character is a historical fiction author who is writing her newest book within the pages of this story, which makes it seem like two stories in one.
The Winter Sea was a beautiful novel. It's centered on a writer and her journey through time as she uncovers her ancestor, Sophie's journey at Slains castle during the Jacobite ordeal of '08. Although I like historical fiction, I'm not a "history buff." Often I'm incredibly intimidated by history-- ...
I wish I had read this novel before Firebird; I was constantly trying to figure that heroine's story into this one and realized I could remember all the details. Despite the preoccupation, I really enjoyed the parallel stories of Carrie and Sophia. At first, I found Carrie's story more engrossing ...
I wavered between giving this book 3 or 4 stars. I couldn't wait to read the parts of Sophie's story, set in the early 1700's, even though the ending to her story was predictable. On the other hand, I found Carrie's parallel storyline in the present day a bit dull. The setting in Cruden Bay and Slai...
