Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Laurie, son of a local ne'er-do-well lordling, and John, son of the well-to-do Hovertons, grow up like brothers on the Hoverton's Bees-wing Farm in England in the early 20th century. The boys revel in their country lifestyle, befriending Foxy Lockett, the playful tomboy who tags along with the hops-pickers who arrive at harvest time each year. The idyll is broken, however, when Laurie's father abruptly demands that his son, now college-age, move into the family manor. Discovering that his father is after his trust fund inheritance, Laurie grows up fast and begins to attend to the decrepit (and haunted) house that will one day be his. Matters complicate as Laurie falls in love with a Spanish girl, who lures him to Spain and into the Spanish Civil War. Fearing for his friend's life, John follows, leaving Foxy behind to bear his child. Eventually, John must spend Laurie's inheritance to save Laurie from Spanish ruffians. When the men return to England, both have changed dramatically. Will Laurie be able to keep home and body together without his trust fund? Has Foxy and John's love died on the cold plains of La Mancha? Though Saxon's characters lack great depth, they're real enough; and she creates an entertainment that's every bit as solid as her last, Someone Special (1994).

Another Brilliant story from Judith Saxton., Mar 15 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harvest Moon (Hardcover)
Harvest MoonYet another brilliant story from Judith Saxton. Harvest Moon like all her other books pulls you into the story of the "hops', Spanish Civil War and war time tragedy. Her characters become like old friends, I felt I was watching Foxy, Laurie & John grow before my eyes.
Judith writes like the characters are real to her, and because of this you can relate to them.
Harvest Moon delves into the personal lives of 3 good friends, through good times, carefree youth into war, tragedy, heartbreak and them even more good times.
A really great read that I would recommend to any reader in search of a "great Book"
