The View From the Hill was one of the most exciting books I have read in a long time. It's a touching almost love story, an with exciting battle over Sterling Castle. This is a great book for not only the historical accuracy, but also for the story behind the action. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

After reading Ms. Bluehorse's most recent book, Grandfather's Drum, I searched for other titles by her and found this one - The View From the Hill. While completely different from Grandfather's Drum, I feel that The View From the Hill is a mile stone in modern historical literature. Elizabeth writes so clearly, so expressively, so beautifully. She is a delight to read - even when her words are bringing tears to your eyes. Elizabeth, we need more or your books!

Elizabeth Bluehorse is the most delightful writer I have experienced in a long time. She handles words with such skill that it is amazing. I strongly recommend this book or any of her others.

This was one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time. Ms. Bluehorse's writing style really brought the characters alive for me. I wish it would be made into a movie.
