Gabriel Rodrigues _abriel_odrigues — I just re-read this book for the first time in years, and while it affects me in a much different way than it did when I was a teenager, damn, does it affect me. I see now that the writing, while beautiful, can be a little melodramatic, and that the central romance of the story is not really at all romantic--Harris is kind of a dick, and Ann is, in fact, a little cold, not to mention the fact that their brief affair is completely selfish. However, I also think that their flaws are the point. Ann Grant/Katz/Stackpole/Lord is, ultimately, an ordinary person, and what is truly haunting about this book is its treatment of what it means to realize life's ordinariness at the end. Ultimately, Ann's life has been a series of joys and sadnesses. Some of the sadnesses are terrible, most notably the loss of her son, but none of them are particularly unique. And I think that within this familiarity lies the book's true heartbreak--it is a narrative about the singular power of memory. Minot examines with compassion the significance we lend, perhaps arbitrarily, to what is finally nothing but a brief collection of incidents that survives only in the stories we choose to tell before we go.

Giulia La giulialapodcbf — Originally posted on At Home Between the Pages I enjoyed everything about this book. I loved how Maggie created such strong relationships between the riders and the water horses, how the capaill uisce (pronounced CAPall ISHka) seemed so tangible, how the important parts were the horses and the races and the relationships. I especially loved how the romance wasn’t in your face. I was worried when I was a little over halfway through the book and there was still no sign of romance (I love the romance in novels). But then I realized: the romance isn’t what’s important. Those things I mentioned before are. But then you see that the romance is there, it just isn’t in-your-face obvious. And that’s because it’s so real. It’s none of that insta-love, no starcrossed lovers, nor overcoming evil overlords together. It’s real life. They meet. They get to know one another. They get that flutter in their stomachs when they think of the other... And so on. It’s just so realistic and I loved that. Puck and Sean were both marvellous characters. It was great to see both of them grow throughout the book. I know Maggie loves writing characters that grow and change throughout the story, and I definitely believe she accomplished this with Puck and Sean. Puck definitely has to be one of the strongest female characters I know. She’s brave and strong and so many things I admire. And Sean was already a responsible adult to begin with, but the way his priorities and his heart shift and change throughout the course of the book was great to watch. I don’t know how many good things I can say about this book, but I know it’ll never be enough to fully express how amazing this book truly is. It has secured a safe place at the top of my favourite reads of all time, and I know I will be rereading this in the near future.

Renato Urot renatourotdesign — I can't finish this book. I dread picking it up. When there is a story that you can follow going on it is interesting. Most times all over the place and others just like words thrown up on a page. I just do not have enough time to waste on this.
