Book Overview

THE WHITE DOVE

by Lois Thompson Bartholomew

Princess, Patriot, Prisoner. Now Tasha must set her feet on an even more dangerous path, the path to join the man she loves in a fight for freedom.

The old man quietly turned his chair so that he was by her side. "I have a gift," he said simply. "For you and the child." She felt the warmth of his hand as he pressed a small bundle into her palm...She did not need to look to know what the old man had given her. It was a necklace, a braided chain of rawhide fastened to a small wooden dove, its wings outstretched in a flight to freedom. She and Raina had not been forgotten.

What others have said about THE WHITE DOVE

"...Readers will not want to put this book down. Accounts of treachery, deceit, and truth rewarded fill this novel. Escaping from caves and a dungeon, Tasha's determination to oust Com and rejoin the rebels gives her the courage to strive for her personal freedom and the freedom of her country. Boundless determination, hope, and desire put into action--these are the messages here." Copyright 2000 Kirkus Associates, All rights reserved. Starred review.

"The White Dove captures your imagination and takes you to another time. You travel along in the journey for freedom from tyranny and get lost in the struggles of Tasha. A perfect book for young readers or readers of any age. You will not want to set it down but keep reading until you turn the last page." Stephanie Gerla

"The White Dove is enjoyable, clean reading! I picked up the book intending to read just a short time but couldn't put it down till I finished it. "Louise Erekson

I couldn't put it down!

Even though I love fantasy novels, and the author said right up front that this wasn't a fantasy, the story caught me up and kept me going until the last page. I hope this isn't the only story about Tasha and their resistance movement. When she was in her father's house--which has been taken over by a thoughtless, uncaring dictator, just like the kingdom--my heart was pounding. This is a terrific adventure story, full of hope and all the right ingredients--READ IT!

A Beautiful Tale

"The White Dove" is clear and concisely written. Although Ms. Bartholomew tells us at the beginning that this is not a fairy tale, for there is no magic, etc., it is hard not to describe it as otherwise. The land in which Tasha lives seems so magical, and yet, reminds me, for a very strange reason, of early England. Maybe it was the descriptions of the government (monarchy which later turns democratic and then turns into a dictatorship) or the countryside (rolling hills, dark forests, hidden caves, crashing rivers) or the people themselves that reminded me of England. Oh, I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Chalk this one up to good ol' insanity. Just read the book. The story may not be magical, but the words themselves are spellbinding.

The White Dove is enjoyable, clean reading!

I picked up the book intending to read only for a short time but couldn't put it down till I finished it. I promptly handed it to my 16 year-old daughter to read, too. It's an interesting adventure that is free of sex and violence, and one you don't have to worry about your kids reading!
