This review is from: In the Land of the Long White Cloud (In the Land of the Long White Cloud Saga) (Kindle Edition) I bought this book through Amazon Prime, but I would gladly pay for it which I plan to do with the sequel. If it were possible, I would give this book ten stars.I cannot believe how several people thought this book had boring parts and drug on and on. I was captivated from page one and was still captivated on the last page. This was a very difficult book to put down.It was a veryThis is the story of two young women from England and Wales in the 1850s traveling by ship to colonial New Zealand at the beginning of its colonization. It's about friendship, it has a little romance, and some adventure. You will be reading about two heroines I found that I enjoyed both women. Helen is going as a mail order bride and Gwyneira a sheep Baron's young and wild daughter who was pretty much won in a Blackjack game. I enjoyed the narrative style of the author and could not put the book
A romantic saga set in the mid to late 1800s in New Zealand. The first in a series, it centres on the lives of two very different young women, each embarking from Wales on a new life in one of the colonies. While they are from vastly different backgrounds, Gwyneira, a lords daughter, and Helen, a struggling governess, they are both destined to marry men they have never met, in this new land of sheep farming at the end of the world. Larks story covers not only the individual struggles of these
New Zealand story of two women who go their to marry. Read on Kindle. I enjoyed it.
I didn't manage to finish this book. I liked the plot and the characters, but since I don't speak German, I had to buy a copy in my language, Croatian. I don't want to say the translation is bad, because it obviously isn't, I checked the English version, too. However, the syntax is rather off. Sentence construction and word order aren't exactly "Croatian", they are more characteristic of the Germanic languages. This really bugged me throughout almost whole book, because I like a nice word flow.
Loved it! Where to start? So many things to say about this book. The first thing I noticed was the cover, it got my attention and made me find out about it. After reading a bit about what it was about I went to get it. The XIX century was tricky for women, they were usually told what to do, who to marry, what was expected from them. They usually followed instructions and found out was to make the best out the situation they found themselves. Helen is an "older woman" for that time, about to
4.5 stars I vacillated between giving this four or five stars. I absolutely loved it but I don't think it was perfect, so I'm going with 4.5. It's really a great story, following many people through their life on and around New Zealand. I thought it might be more love story-ish than it was, but it really wasn't about that. It was just about life and living and all the crazy stuff that goes with that. In a lot of ways it reminded me of Outlander, thought they had plenty of differences. It's that
