Hello Bookworms!,
I want
to share with you a review of my latest read, Flight of the Earls by Michael K.
Reynolds!
Summary:
The potato famine has destroyed crops all over Ireland and
the Hanley family’s crops were not spared. But this is par for the course for
the Hanley family. After the deaths of one son, one daughter, and a beloved
uncle, the Hanley family is becoming accustomed to tragedy. But now Clare
Hanley’s father has made a decision that will forever change the course of
Clare’s life. Even though Clare’s uncle and sister died on the voyage to
America, Mr. Hanley has decided that Clare and her brother Seamus will now make
their own voyage to America to earn enough money to keep the Hanley family
going through the famine. With no way to escape her father’s decision, Clare is
going to America but what she finds there is more than she ever bargained
for…and also more than she ever dreamed possible.
Review:
I began reading this book with some
trepidation. This was the first I had heard of author Michael K. Reynolds, and
I was not sure if I would like his writing.
After reading several reviews on Amazon.com, I knew I wanted to give
Flight of the Earls a shot.
Clare Hanley’s character had my
heart from the beginning. I was thrilled to read her journey from naïve
daughter of a drunken farm owner to business woman. I was also impressed at the
story line of her love life. I was so glad to see that our heroine did not jump
at the first offer of marriage that came her way but was willing to stick it
out and wait for “the one” as younger brother Davin would describe him. It was
refreshing to see.
I was also very impressed with the
theme that God’s word does not return void. Even though Clare’s grandmother had
passed many years ago, the lessons she taught Clare about the Lord always stuck
with her.
Clare’s journey is not without its twists and
turns. Don’t think that you have the book figured out in the first few
chapters. There are shockers in this book that will make your head spin! I
won’t even attempt to describe it any further for fear of giving anything away!
;)
