I really enjoyed this book. I really didn't know what to make
of Cassidy at times but the ending definitely cleared up any confusion.
There were so many surprises along the way. I really liked how the
author allowed the reader to understand Cassidy's thought process.
What an excellent and heartfelt read! I loved that the story centered on
competitive swimming because I've always loved to swim! It was really
interesting to be immersed in that world. I loved all of the characters
in this book but especially Susannah and Harry! The emotional ups and
downs of this story really moved me. I look forward to reading more
books by this author!
Wow, what an excellent book! Discovering the nuances of the characters was a joy. Each new path the story took left me breathless with anticipation. Everything was so well done and I never would have guessed the eventual outcome. I can not say enough good things about this book!
It was difficult to read Debora Harding's account of childhood abuse at the hands of her mother. It was also emotional to read of her kidnapping and rape during her teens. The author's honesty in sharing the emotional and psychological aftermath of these events was very moving. It is very admirable how she has been able to deal with her past traumas.
I couldn't put this book down! I really like how how this moved between past and present. I especially loved the friendship between Eve and Maggie as well as Maggie's relationship with her father. The twists in this read were thrilling! This is won't be my last book by Heather Gudenkauf!
I absolutely adored this book! I had known nothing about British Brideships before reading this novel. I greatly admire the resilience and the tenacity of the main characters in this story. All that they overcame in order to make better lives for themselves. Also the plight of natives in British Columbia during that time was horrendous! I really enjoyed reading the author's note at the end of the book.
