The Last Train Home,
By Bunny (Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Last Train Home (Paperback)
I absolutely love all of Blaine Coopers books. If you like Period pieces mixed with Lesbian romance, you'll love this book.The Jacket reads: "The end of the nineteenth century might have been the Gilded Age for the likes of Rockefellers and Carnegies - but for the newly arrived immigrants and poverty - stricken Americans packed into Manhattan's teeming Lower Eastside, it was a different story all together. In this tumultuous time, factory worker Virginia Chisholm hopes for more, but her dreams go up in smoke when a tenement blaze rips her family apart. Aided by Lindsay Killian, the street - wise rail - riding drifter she meets in a charity hospital, Ginny follows the orphan train that has taken her siblings west. The desperate quest to reunite her family takes the young women from the slums of New York City to the farms of West Virginia and the bustling frontier beyond. This harrowing journey moves Ginny and Lindsay from one mishap and adventure to another. It also leads them both from friendship to a tender and unexpected romance. Blayne Cooper is the award winning author of HARD TIMES and UNBREAKABLE."

A poignant and involving ride,
By jerseygirl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Last Train Home (Paperback)
A great blend of action, adventure, mystery and old-fashioned romance (rated G to PG). An interesting twist on the "orphan in search of lost family" plot, with the main characters two strong, smart and independent women. Characters are likeable, plot moves well. Obviously well-researched. A good read, especially good summer reading.

Something different for the genre,
By KG MacGregor - Published on Amazon.com
If you're looking for something out of the ordinary in the lesbian fiction genre, pick up The Last Train Home. In this well-researched period piece, Blayne Cooper has created fresh, young characters and given them challenges no teenagers should ever have to face. It's a well-written, compelling story that you'll want to read again and again.

Cooper With A Twist,
By K. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Last Train Home (Paperback)
I've read everything Blayne Cooper has published (and even some of her unpublished stuff) and have never been disappointed. She does a fantastic job developing characters and story lines, keeping the reader completely engaged. The only problem (if you can call it that) is many of her books are long, so don't start reading until you can check out of your regular life for a few days.In 'The Last Train Home,' Cooper delivers a touching story of two young wome from very different worlds who become fast friends and first lovers. Lindsay has grown up on the street and leads a rough, day-to-day existance. Ginny has an education, but works long hours in a chicken-plucking factory to help support her poor family. Ginny's apartment building falls victim to a fire, her parents and some siblings are killed, and while she is in the hospital, her three youngest siblings are adoped out by a crooked orphanage. The story follows Ginny and Lindsay as they fight to survive, search for the kids and fall in love. Very nicely done. Recommended for taking on a trip to your cabin, read next to a blazing fire, accompanied with a never-ending supply of hot cider. You won't be disappointed. |
