Summary: Lovesong
Review: Having read many romance novels, I usually find them predictable. Not this one. Valerie Sherwood writes a story of romance and adventure. She also includes an author's note which briefly describes the era that this book takes place. Several incidents are based on fact.

Her heroine, Carolina Lightfoot, is a young woman that is reckless, romantic, and fearless. She travels abroad, has a love affair, and follows her heart.

It is a long book (526 pages), but you will not want to put it down. I enjoyed it so much I ordered the 2 books that follow it; Windsong and Nightsong!

Summary: A collage of music that is the essence and magic of love.
Review: It is always difficult to decide which of O'Connor's CDs is the better one, it is all so personal but he has outdone himself this time. All the tracks are so eloquent, touches one's soul but 1, 3 and 8 are truly remarkable.
