Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This is the first part of a trilogy set in turn-of-the-century Scotland. Protagonist Jennie Hawthorne, an outspoken Englishwoman with a strong social conscience, falls in love with and marries Nigel Gilchrist. When she moves to his Highland family estate, she is dismayed to learn that he is evicting cottagers from the property to make way for sheep-grazing. The ending, PW wrote, "will whet readers' appetites for sequels and answers." December

5.0 out of 5 stars Jennie Trilogy - Book 1, October 25, 2000

This review is from: Jennie About to Be (Jennie Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

I spent many a happy hour reading the whole trilogy. There was not a "dog" in the series. The style of writing moved the story along but still allowed me to know the characters. I liked the series so much that I plan to read it over and over. I also think enough of the trilogy, I am going to repurchase the two volumns I let someone borrow and never got back. That should tell you right there that this is really a great series. And guys -- this is NOT a "girl book" -- men will enjoy it also
