Isabelle Linden’s brother, Evan, gave her a brand new diary on the eve of her sixteenth birthday. He did it in private because he knew that his father would read it if he ever found out she had it. That diary would become Isabelle’s confidant and consolation through the years to come.
Ms. Anita Birt has written a beautiful book about true love and how circumstances can change even the best intentions. She delivered some beautiful scenery while telling this story. It made me wish to visit the area of Wales in 1900. Her characters, from the domineering father to the subservient mother, were compelling studies in personalities. She wrote the two potential love interests with an objective of showing their vast differences.
I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a book with ups and downs and even a very surprise ending.
