5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the Christmas Box Trilogy!, December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Timepiece (Hardcover)

Of course, it's better if you read all three novels in the trilogy that tells the tale of the Parkin family, but if you're going to choose just one, let it be "Timepiece." "The Christmas Box" introduced us, briefly to MaryAnne Parkin, by then an elderly widow with a mysterious past, but "Timepiece" fills in the gaps and brings you in, through the vehicle of her husband David's diary, to a warm and wonderful story of true love and loss. Here you learn about Andrea, the little girl MaryAnne mourned beneath the famous angel statue. But most importantly, you get to know David and MaryAnne-their faults; their pain; their loyalty to each other, their daughter and their friends; and the strength of their love. Reading of the lives of David and MaryAnne Parkin is almost like hearing your grandparent's love story after they're gone. These characters really touch your spirit. I've just finished "The Letter," and, knowing it's the final installment, I'm really going to miss this family. Richard Paul Evans' talent for capturing emotion and his attention to detail make this book a delight to read. My suggestion to him now, is to go back and write about Lawrence and his Cavalry days...

5.0 out of 5 stars Timepiece, January 24, 2000

By

D. Johnson (Salesville, AR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timepiece (Mass Market Paperback)

"Timepiece", is easily one of the best books I have ever read. It opens your heart and makes itself at home there, and continues to live there long after you have finished reading it. I will admit "Timepeice", made me cry, but it also made me think and take the time to be thankful for the gifts I have been blest with. Richard Paul Evans has given us characters we really care about and come to love. If you love a romantic, sweet love story you will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Timepiece (Hardcover)

It's a real great story, and I'll treasure the book forever. It portrays a nobility that is not found in any title a person could have. Of course, in a jaded society, it means only hope, or at the very least, a memory of what was once right with the world.
