This is the sequel to Ishmael. It is a must read if you read and liked Ishmael (which you should read and like), for the two of them make one whole story. Though they make one story, this book contains much more intrigue (and the first one was not short of it). It reads fast and holds your attention throughout. Ms. Southworth is really an excellent storyteller. The ending of this tale is fantastic. It is difficult to summarize this story without spoilers, so I won't. I will just conclude with th

Wow. Talk about melodrama! True love, false love, no love at all; fortunes, shipwrecks, a castle in Scotland, murder, kidnapping, vile plots, so on and so forth. Thought it all Ishamel remains exemplary in every way, though we actually follow Claudia for a good portion of the book. If you read Ishmael you'll want to read this one just to wrap up the story, but it's not written in my very favorite style.

This was the sequel to Ishmael, and was equally captivating! I think this one may have contained even more mystery, and Ishmael's unfolding discovery about the difference between childish infatuation and true love was so well portrayed that I felt my own heart aching right along with him. I was sad to see this book come to an end!

This is the follow-up novel to Ishmael. There is higher drama, murder, kidnapping and more betrayals to resurface and be dealt with. Where I don't think this novel as just as good as Ishmael, it does give satisfying conclusions and happy endings-- for those that need those-- what were left unresolved from the first novel.

"Ishmael" is good, but this book is great. The glowing reviews lived up to their words. Although I found it tedious to wade through all of the strange dialects,the story made it worth the wading. It was a testimoney to God's power and an encouragement to righteousness.

The sequel to Ishmael. It was a bit extravagant in its vile plots, but compelling and satisfying. All the dialects were at times tiring to read (and decipher) but made the story that much more interesting. I was happy with the fate of all the characters in the end.

This was the sequel to Ishmael and goes into the challenges he faces in adult life. Though the story is excellent, I must say I liked the first slightly better. This is still a must-read though.

A Jackie & Myron favorite--a dreadful beginning but good two volume ending. A must read.
