Customer Reviews

If you read "Echoes from the Past" the first book in the series, this book 2 should be waiting on yo

The overview explains the storyline pretty well. This isn't the kind of book that I usually read but I do like books that take place in other countries & write of the life & culture there. I also like stories of relationships & the difficulties that can entail especially during difficult times. The Brigandshaw, Manderville & St. Clair families enrich the storyline all the way through & the descriptions of the settings almost exist as another character. The storyline & the characters are well developed & you're pulled into their lives right to the last page. I was wise to purchase the second book in the series with the first one so I didn't have to wait to read how the story continued. The third book is already waiting. I really recommend this series.
