Status Updates From The Splendour Falls

A slow start and I'm not crazy about the main character--yet--which is odd for Kearsley's females.

No...

Finally, a story I'm having trouble putting down!

It's raining men! Brothers, a musician, an artist, and a mysterious rich widower...

I had a feeling and yet I'm still crying and wanting to vomit.

Someone else's woman....AHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHH

I love Neil. So much.

HE BETTER NOT BE DEAD THATS NO WAY TO BEGIN A BOOK

I'm gonna read em all.

I can't tell any of the four(!) modern-day dudes apart.

Main character is just a little dry for me. The story has lost me a few times..two Isabelle's? This far in and it's like okay where is this going..?

Oh. My. Goodness.

I think sh*t is getting real all of a sudden!

"And then he laughed, and looked away and the moment passed."

So close to the end.

how bout that?

Didn't expect that, what the hell?

Oh

:'(

We kept to the river walk. There were plane trees here,too--not as ancient or peaceful as those of the Promenade, but nearly as tall, and the breeze blowing through them was idle and cool. It had blown the mist from the murmuring river that danced past in sharp sparkling ribbons of light, and the pavement was dappled with shadow and sunlight, both shifting in time with the whispering leaves.

It was a lovely night for late September, crisp and clear, filled with the drifting scents of autumn-- pungent leaves and petrol fumes and slowly burning coal. My watch read ten past eleven, but there were still people passing me by on the pavement--young people mostly, in boisterous clusters, making their way to the lively bar on the nearest corner.

Beautiful prose.

A slow slog...I'm trying to stay with the story...but haven't gotten to the point of it yet. Wonder when and if I will? And where the heck is Harry?

I'm waiting for something to happen. This one is incredibly slow. The romance is nonexistent. The mystery, well I'm unsure if there's one mystery, two mysteries, or none. I'll keep reading, because this is a Susanna Kearsley book, but I'm bordering on disappointed unfortunately. We'll see...

Sooner or later, my husband is going to read the credit card bill and despair. I can't seem to stop purchasing Susanna's books, but I might be sending us broke at this rate. Is there a price on excellent story telling? Yep! US$9.99 per e-book. Ouch!

After seeing this on recommended lists, I've decided to give it a try, since I liked Season of Storms.

still no secure love interest yet. most unusual for Kersley

This novel makes me want to buy a plane ticket to France.
