From Fields of Gold

Summary: A Story of Gold!
Review: Once I picked this book up I couldn't put it down. It has a very romantic and exciting plot that keeps changing and surprising you throughout the story (almost like a soap opera). Alexandra Ripley is the most discriptive author I have ever encountered and this made it very easy to picture the whole story in my mind and made the book even more enjoyable to read. I love a romantic story that ends well and this fits the bill. Chess was my favorite character throughout the story because most of it is written from her point-of-view. If you like reading about post Civil War, American history and love stories I completely recomend this book for you. It's a must read!

Summary: Excellent Book, A Must Read!
Review: This is by far one of her best books. I have read it twice and enjoyed it thoughoughly both times. Every time I read it I still can't put it down. The characters and plot are great. I love the ending and especially the clever last line of the book. Anyone who hasn't read it is missing out!

Summary: A Good Book About the South
Review: This was a very good historical novel with likable characters and for the most part an intriguing plot. I never knew that Southerners and the English could be so scandalous! Chess is one of my favorites heroines ever, and Nate was interesting as well. I was so pleased with the ending, and any reader will be as well. I was a little displeased with Chess's behavior with Randall, not because she was having an affair, but with the utter consumption it had over her. And that Lily, wow, typical religious child gone wrong. Personally, I thought Ripley's Scarlett was superior, but I plan on reading her novels in the future.
