Tuesday's Top Pick

This week's top pick is brought to you by the best thing ever in the whole wide entire world: BOOKS! In fact, it's more than just BOOKS! and it deals with an author who's writing style and plot lines have completely captivated me, Susanna Kearsley. I first read The Winter Sea in January, quickly followed by The Rose Garden and I have just begun reading Mariana.

 

From Amazon.com: "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.
Now, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn that story into her next bestselling novel. Settling herself in the shadow of Slains Castle, she creates a heroine named for one of her own ancestors and starts to write.

But when she discovers her novel is more fact than fiction, Carrie wonders if she might be dealing with ancestral memory, making her the only living person who knows the truth-the ultimate betrayal-that happened all those years ago, and that knowledge comes very close to destroying her..."

 

 From Amazon.com: "Eva Ward returns to the only place she truly belongs, the old house on the Cornish coast, seeking happiness in memories of childhood summers. There she finds mysterious voices and hidden pathways that sweep her not only into the past, but also into the arms of a man who is not of her time.
