The Winter Sea ~ Paperback ~ Susanna Kearsley

The story of an epic love that transcends both time and place from award-winning author Susanna Kearsley Carrie McClelland came to Scotland to research her next book. Renting a cottage in the same town where her story takes place, Carrie embarks not only on her novel, but on a romance with her landlord's handsome son, Graham Keith. When the boundary between past and present begins to blur, Carrie finds herself channeling memories not her own. Pulled deeper and deeper into the memories of the past, Carrie realizes these visions are more than the means to another bestselling novel, but also a way to right the wrongs of the past and create a future with the man whose love is her destiny. "A deeply engaging romance and a compelling historical novel...Susanna Kearsley has written a marvellous book." -Bernard Cornwell Reviews The story was deliciously romantic and the writing style matched the brooding, haunting tale very well. Definitely well worth reading! (Lynn Spencer All About Romance ) Kearsley's novel is highly reminiscent of Barbara Erskine's Lady of Hay and Mary Stewart's works: evocative novels that lift readers straight into another time and place to smell the sea, feel the castle walls, see history and sense every emotion. These are marks of a fantastic storyteller. 4 1/2 Stars, Top Pick of the Month (RT Book Reviews ) The rich history and the historical aspect of this novel made it a book that was hard to put down. (The Romance Studio ) Skillful writing and research... Readers will not be disappointed in Sophia's enthralling story. Highly recommended. (Historical Novels Review  Reading this book was pure magic. (Queen of Happy Endings) I loved The Winter Sea. It drew me in from the start and I found myself reading faster and faster just to find out what would happen next... (Starting Fresh 20101201) A creative tour de force... Brilliant! (New York Journal of Books) Scotland past and present comes vividly alive in this superior piece of historical fiction - the rugged countryside, salty sea air and rich heritage are the perfect setting for this tale of love, loss and destiny. (Thoughts From Lady Tess ) This is historical fiction at its best! (Library of Clean Reads ) Vivid... One of those books that you remember long after the last page has been turned.
