5.0 out of 5 stars Come Read Come Spring, February 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Spring (Hardcover)

"Come Spring" was written by Ben Ames Williams in 1940. It has been published several times since because it is an enduring classic. Mima is the main character of the book, a young woman with a deep inner strength. We meet her at the very beginning of the book, as she and her family are on a boat taking them to the Maine wilderness at the start of the American Revolution. The story shows the hardships and heartbreak of taming the New World and the deep, abiding love that keeps the families going. Ben Ames Williams is famous for his contemporary writings, such as "Leave Her to Heaven" (which was made into a movie), but I feel that his historical fiction is where he excells. The families featured in "Come Spring" truly did exist, forming the history of Union, Maine. This is an outstanding book and I recommend it for anyone who loves romance, history and excitement

5.0 out of 5 stars Come Spring in Union, Maine, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Spring (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful historical novel, well worth reading and re-reading. It's full of romance and adventure, and readers will enjoy knowing that many descendants of the characters still live in the lovely town of Union. In fact, they can visit the Union Historical Society's website for more information about the town....

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful 1940 classic, August 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Spring (Hardcover)

Come Spring is one of my all time favorite books. When I read this book (about every other year) it's as engrossing as the first time I read it. I can close my eyes and picture the wildllfe Williams decribes, I find myself trying to copy the accents of the characters and never fail, I end up reading late into the night "just one more chapter". For more information on this wonderful book, contact the Union Historical Society at 207-785-5444.
