Good summer read,

This review is from: The Wind Harp (Paperback)
I found this book hard to get into but once you get going it's a great story and you are drawn into the lives of these characters. There are several sub-plots which make it interesting. It's an easy read.

A Delightful, Heart-warming Romance!,
By Jill E. Smith "Writer - Visit me at www.jille... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wind Harp (Paperback)
In THE WIND HARP, this sequel to A DISTANT MUSIC, author B.J. Hoff takes the story of Jonathan Stuart and Maggie MacAuley a step further, delving deeper into their character and crafting a tale that is truly compelling. These characters, which come to life in book one, take on a new dimension in book two, pulling the reader into Jonathan's and Maggie's worst fears and deepest dreams. A different take on an age old love story, Mrs. Hoff, shows us that the old adage is true - good things come to those who wait.I love the way Mrs. Hoff draws me into each character's hopes and dreams, while weaving in enough mystery and drama to keep me turning pages. Not many books keep me thinking about them long after I set the book down, but Mrs. Hoff has such a wonderful way of bringing the characters to life on each page, that I feel like I know them - like they have become dear friends. Even the cover art on this book begs a romance. I found myself snatching a page here and there every chance I got. I can't wait to finish the saga with book three. I only wish we didn't have to wait six months for it to come out! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

A beautiful love story,
By Barbara Warren - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wind Harp (Paperback)
Maggie MacAuley has given up her position as a teacher at Hull House in Chicago and has returned home to Skingle Creek. At first she regretted her decision, but unlike her sisters, Eva Grace and Nell Frances, she has always had a love for Skingle Creek. Even the grimy layer of coal dust covering everything doesn't bother her.There's trouble at home. Maggie's Da has been injured, working in the mines. He's in constant pain, her mother is older, frailer, and her fourteen year old brother, Ray, is rebellious. Maggie gets a job teaching at the Skingle Creek School, working with Mr. Stuart, her beloved former teacher, mentor and friend. Then Eva Grace comes home and Maggie isn't sure of anything anymore B.J. Hoff creates characters who live in the heart of the reader. I've never been to Skingle Creek, but I know it and I know the people who live there. Her writing style has all the melody and grace of an Irish harp. She never disappoints. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Peace in the Valley,
By Virginia Gal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Wind Harp (Paperback)
There's an old gospel song titled "Peace In the Valley." BJ Hoff's latest book puts me in mind of that song. The Wind Harp does not depend upon "sensationalism" to create its moving story; like a cup of ice-cold water on a hot summer day, or sitting under a big old tree by a gently running stream, The Wind Harp draws the reader in to sit for a spell. They are refreshed, and never want to leave. As always, BJ's hallmark characterization is supplemented by her skilled depiction of both the light and dark sides of life, presented with a beautiful simplicity that made my heart sing along with the story.If you're after a book that leaves you feeling good about life, or feeling hope about life regardless of circumstances, or just feeling refreshed after reading a wonderful story--don't miss The Wind Harp. |
