3.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable historical read, September 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Water Meadows (Paperback)

As the Forsyth family of Glasgow begin a new life in the Devon village of Atherton, their fortunes change. We become well acquainted with each member of the family as they struggle to find a place in their community. Some characters we become better acquainted with while others are left wanting for more depth and personability. I enjoyed the book for its geographic backdrop, having just spent time in the Exeter area of Devon and having ancestors from Cornwall who were miners. It is refreshing to read a English historical novel written by someone who is familar with local details of speech, habits, etc. I recommend the book and enjoyed it but I have read better plots.
