5.0 out of 5 stars History and good love stories, August 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Deep Summer (Library Binding)

I discovered Gwen Bristow in Junior High. I know I've read all of her books at least 3 times since then. The Plantation Trilogy is her best. This one of the three. Too bad it's out of print. Also Calico Palace. I cannot visit San Fransisco without seeing the early days through Gwen's writing. She was one of the best historical fiction writers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best series of Books I have ever read!!!!, January 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Deep Summer (Library Binding)

Deep Summer is only the first of 3 books to complete the Plantation Trilogy. The book starts out with a family of 4 heading down from New England in the mid 1700's to start a new life in the Deep South. You will follow this family and many other families all the way to the early 1900's. It is amazing to read and imagine how these people felt during all the ups and downs the Plantation life has to offer them, good and bad!! I reccommend this book to everyone who is at all interested in history or just a good ole love story.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Book, October 15, 2001

R. C. Luther (United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deep Summer (Library Binding)

This is the first Gwen Bristow novel I've ever read. Her historical fiction is wonderful. This is the first of her plantation trilogy, set in what becomes Louisiana, prior to the American Revolution. It follows the Larne and Sheramy families, telling how they carved their empires out of the forests. It's a great love story, a great historical novel, and my favorite of the trilogy.
