3.0 out of 5 stars Not a book to lift your spirits, June 7, 2009

This review is from: White Dove (Paperback)

This is the story of the life of Amy Lowell from about age 4 until her early twenties. This is not an easy book to read. First of all, it's over 600 pages long and full of politics and war. There are many tradegies throughout this book -- in fact almost all are. The Lowell family is extremely atypical. There are almost no happy parts to this book. I wanted to like it because I liked the characters very much especially Amy and Nick, but it was too depressing. Even the ending wasn't what I would have liked it to be although probably true to life.

This beautiful written novel is a historical gem for Wales and the time between the two world wars. The characters are drawn in such detail and the imaginary so vivid that you are helplessly pulled into each scene. Your mood will be affected as you experience each tradegy and watch the brilliant come back of the characters.
