Family Secrets,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Quicksilver Pool (Audio Cassette)
I do not like gothic romances but I absolutely love this book. It is of a time when women wore gowns and dresses and men wore suits, ties and uniforms. Where families had servants and maids and gardeners -- and slaves. A girl from the south whose father was killed on his way to rescue a wounded Union soldier now nurses back to life the same soldier. To perhaps fill the hole left by the death of her father, Lora weds her charge, Wade Tyler. He takes her to his family's home on Staten Island to be a mother to his young son whose own mother had mysteriously died in a pool of water. Other characters enter into the story. Her husband's mother, Amanda Tyler, rules her roost with an iron fist and Lora's husband, Wade Tyler, is his mother's dutiful son. Lora tries her best to fit in this dark household but finds herself surrounded by rules and limitations she does not understood or agree with. As Lora meets some of the neighbors and visits with them she feels there are many hidden secrets -- not the least of which concerns the death of Wade's first wife, Jemmy's mother. Was she killed, or was it suicide, and who knows something but is not telling? The tale is taut with many twists and turns and in the end you will have found the climax well worth the long journey.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Quicksilver Pool (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an exciting novel set during the Civil War. As with all of Phyllis A. Whitney's novels, the imagery is wonderful, as is the story line. I highly recommend this book. Then, pass it along to friends for them to enjoy as well!!

This review is from: The Quicksilver Pool (Mass Market Paperback)
I've been reading more and more Phyllis Whitney, and I have to say I think this is my favorite so far. I really liked the plot and the ending, and found that I could hardly put the book down. I recommend this book, and if you like it the try "The Trembling Hills" by Whitney.
