Hi, hi,
Can you believe how fast the year is
speeding through?!
I recently finished reading Women of the Dunes by Sarah Maine.
Set
in three time periods in Ullaness, Scotland. The legendary woman Ulla 800AD,
Ellen 1890 and Libby the archaeologist – what secrets and difficulties unite
them and how much of the legend is true?
I really enjoyed reading this book. I
appreciated that the main story was Libby’s but there was enough of Ellen’s
story and Ulla’s story to tighten the modern narrative and some twists that
were unexpected.
I enjoy Maine’s writing style. The
characters felt nuanced and there were some great characters in the book and
some lovely moments between them. I was sad to finish it. I thought a lot about
the characters while I was reading it, guessed at what might come next and
would definitely pick up other books by this author.
