4.0 out of 5 stars A good read on a rainy day., January 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The blackbird's tale (Paperback)

I read this book during the summer 1997 so my memory is rather foggy at this point. The book spans three generations of Scottish women, from the Great War up to the late 1970s (I think). Each woman (mother, daughter, grand-daughter)has their trials and tribulations concerning their romantic lives, all within the historical context of their times. One thing the women also have in common is their love of books (something to which I could relate). I enjoyed this book thoroughly because I guess I'm just a romantic at heart. Also, books of this genre are not meant to be read for a deeper meaning but for strictly entertainment purposes. I seem to remember reading the entire thing in one or two days - a real page turner, I guess. The Blackbird's tale, to sum up, is something to sink your teeth into on a cold, rainy summer's day. Enjoy!!!!! P.S. The Blackbird is the name of a book shop in Glasgow which is important to each character in a different way.
