Loading... Water, Stone, Heart: A Novelby Will North
Poorly written. However, I did learn a lot about making stone hedges and some about witchcraft. Water, Stone, Heart is a beautiful, moving book about two people finding each other when they need each other most. Andrew Stanton has just gone through a nasty and unexpected divorce. He goes to Boscastle, England for the summer to learn how to build stone walls, hoping to reconnect with what drew him to architecture in the first place and figure out what he wants out of life. Nicola Rhys-Jones has escaped to Boscastle, trying to hide from an abusive marriage. In the climactic ending a flood hits the village endangering the people who have protected Andrew and Nicola and tried to help them heal. The storm will bring out hidden feelings and show new sides of their characters. Yes, at heart this book is a romance, but its more then that as well. There is interesting information about the history of building stone walls and the history of Boscastle. There is plenty of humor, drama, and the descriptions of the natural world are fantastic. The characters are well developed, realistic, but also a little quirky and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was entertaining, romantic, and had a believable and well paced plot. I will definately go back and read Will North's firs book, The Long Walk Home. |
