Deciding4.5 I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time stars.Reading Susanna Kearsley is such fun. I find that I both want to read faster so that I can see what will happen and read slower so that I can stay in this story and this world just a little bit longer. She sifts in just the right amount of romance, mystery and history to make a perfect cake, and she is one of the few writers who can keep me as interested in the modern-day story she is telling as the historical one. I typically find
The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley really seemed like a book I would love as it dealt with a part of Scottish history that I was not familiar with. I had not read a book set in Scotland before and was eager to get started on this novel after reading the fascinating blurb. "In the spring of 1708 an invading Jacobite fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in landing the exiled James Stewart in Scotland to reclaim his crown.

4.5 stars. This is a classic case of the right book finding the right time. I know I've picked this book up several times with the intent to read it and it just didn't look all that compelling.

i have what can only be described as a love-hate relationship with this book. i found so much of it to feel incredibly stupid and yet i couldn't put it down. explain that one to me!'warning: here there be spoilers. 10 Things I Hate About You:1. the employment of a frame story - i'm pretty sure the conversation with her editor went something like this: sk: it's going to be two books in one! one story will be set in modern day and the other will be her "historical" novel!editor: oh, you mean, like
Oh my. What a story this was. ❤ The location, the history, the love story. All of it was simply fabulous.Actually there is a story within this story. You will most certainly fall in love with Sophia and John and all that swirls around them. And Catherine and Graham will warm your heart. It came highly recommended to me and I will pass that along as well. A must read for sure!!
