| I read this in two evenings. It's a very fast-paced plot-driven mystery that does not linger over characters or setting. The writing does tend to be clunky and amateurish in places, as in "he swept them into a tearful embrace." Unlike some other revi ...more | |

| Rounded up to 3.5 stars. I loved the premise of the book and the time period. The heroine was plucky and the love interest was suitably heroic, albeit maddeningly slow to act. The Indigenous characters were particularly interesting, and I liked the s ...more | |

“I set one cup of milk into a pan of water and heated it to boiling. Bridget stirred the dry ingredients together five times, as the recipe directed: one cup flour, one cup sugar, three teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt. She sifted so merrily that a cloud of white flour circled her curly dark head like a halo. Into the dry ingredients I poured the hot milk, then folded in two stiff egg whites before pouring the batter into a pan and popping it into a moderate oven. When it had risen satisfactorily and a broom straw inserted into the centre came out clean,”

“Fear is the original sin. Almost all of the evil in the world has its origin in the fact that some one is afraid of something.It is a cold slimy serpent coiling about you. It is horrible to live with fear; and it is of all things degrading.”

“The fashion has been in literary fiction for the depressing ending, and for more or less passive characters who have terrible things happen to them . . . So why not have a happy ending? Is there a law?”
