Book review Clouds AcrossThe sun by Ellen Brazer | Gather

I was able to read this wonderful book by Ellen Brazer titled Clouds Across the Sun and I'm so glad I did .
The is historical fiction, but the story is so fascinating and compelling you will be wishing it was made into a movie more than once as I did .
The Story starts out in Naples Florida 1951 where we meat Jotto Wells as a young girl . From there we are taken to many places , Ellen's detailed description of places like Israel-Vilnius ,Poland are fantastic and I found this book to be unputdownable .
I do not want to spoil the readers adventure by describing the story much because its the story itself that will grab and hold you . This story has everything from intrigue and conspiracy to romance and happy endings as we follow Jotto on her journy of self discovery . This story may be fiction but its truly believable fiction and I thought many times while reading, what if this had actually happened and that thought alone gave me shivers .
This story is so filled with interesting characters that it totally captures the imagination like few novels can do . This is one of my book that I will read over and over again just to experience the discovery and journey again , and again .
Clouds Across the Sun is not only filled with factual information, its been so well researched as to be one of those rare novels that reads like history .
This is the story of a devious plan to take over the United States by Hitler's most trusted comrades as he charges them to educate there children and elevate them to positions of power - Clouds Across the Sun is the story of one of these children . Totally creative and superbly unique, It is a fantastic read for any history lover .
Thanks for reading my review of Clouds across the sun

My Review for Kindred spirits By Clifford Neal

Kindred Spirits By Clifford Neal

I cant tell you how much I enjoyed this thoroughly researched, Interesting and Informative story .

This is fiction that reads like history complete with the rich atmosphere of Life in colonial America .

In Kindred Spirits, Mr Neal unveils a treasure Trove of ancestry making it possible for the reader to really get a feel for the era .

I am personally interested in this time period because my ancestors settled in America from Ireland around the same time, I only wish I knew as much about them as Clifford Knows about his ancestry .

Kindred Spirits By Clifford Neal is perfect historical fiction for people who love history.

From the excitement of dealing with native American laws and customs, to the romance William Neal finds with a lovely Native American woman , and on to the sacrifices they both must make to bring a peace between their two peoples .

Kindred Spirits is a thoroughly engrossing and entertaining read and I highly recommend it to any lover of American history .

Thanks for reading my review of

Oh Happy day My Brahmin bag finely came in today :) | Gather

I was chosen to receive this fantastic handbag/ tote through the Vogue Influencer network its called the Anytime tote and will be available to purchase in May . I took some pictures of it ,the outside and inside so you could see detail , It came in a large Brahmin box and was encased in a protective Brahmin chamois storage bag with a note attached from Vogue and the Influencer network. it also has a warranty card that I have to fill out and send in . I'm not sure what this one will eventually sell for but most totes this size are priced anywhere from 245.00 to 295.00 . This is a awesome bag Just in time for summer ! needless to say I'm thrilled :)

Book Review Here Burns my candle by Liz Curtis... | Gather

I had the opportunity to read Liz Curtis Higgs Thrilling second novel Mine is the Night before reading this one titled Here Burns my Candle and I'm so happy I got a chance to see how this lovely story started .
I can say I truly enjoyed both novels .

Liz Curtis Higgs has the ability to really make you feel like you have been transported through time to Scotland in the 1740s . She is a fantastic historical fiction writer and it was a joy to read both novels .

In Here burns my candle we meet Elizabeth Kerr, a highlander by birth, she is now married to a lowlander , Lord Donald Kerr.
The Kerr family have always been loyal to the crown and Elizabeth must keep her Jacobite sympathies to herself and only wishes to be a good and faithful wife to her husband.
Elizabeth is fiercely loyal to Donald in spite of his many infidelities though it breaks her heart . She must learn how to draw strength from a belief system that is new to her ,having found no comfort in the old ways of her people .

This is a story of spiritual discovery and strength in a time of political upheaval and unrest .
I would recommend This story to anyone interested in this point in history or to any lover of historical fiction as they are both fantastic and satisfying reads . I would recommend reading Here burns My Candle first because you will get the full scope of the story as in unfolds . In Liz's Second book Mine is the Night you will see how far Elizabeth grows in strength as well as spirit .
please see my review for Mine is the night at this link thanks for reading my review and Thank you Liz Curtis Higg for writing a truly uplifting story .

Review Oscar De La Renta's Esprit Fragrance | Gather

I received a sample of Oscar De La Renta's new fragrance called Esprit the other day .

This is a lovely summer fragrance very floral but not to heavy its actually very refreshing as I'm use to really heavy perfumes that I can only wear on occasion , I can wear Esprit everyday with no problems . Its fresh and clean and very feminine with a natural floral scent that's never to heavy or over powering .
