This is the sequel to ‘From the Ashes’. We find Saskia and Jenny still at Cambridge University. Her casual friend and the only boy she has ever kissed, Larry Murberry Has disappeared to the USA to study. Saskia and Jenny journey to see Saskia’s father in Texas and Saskia at last makes peace with him. Larry reappears in her life and declares his love, but can Saskia return his love? Larry’s family disapprove too, so the affair seems doomed from the start. Will love triumph?
I have fallen in love with this series, much like Saskia falls in love, slowly, thoughtfully, and maybe even a bit reluctantly. I will tell you that this is a slow moving series, sometimes feeling the plot a bit sluggish to read. But character development is so strong. I really care about the characters. I want to know everything about them. Their triumphs and failures, motivations, and their future lives. The ending was so bittersweet, I do hope that we will be privy to more of Saskia and Jenn’s future lives.
Please write another book about Saskia and Lawrence
I have so enjoyed this book, and it’s predecessor “From the ashes” I find myself wanting to follow Saskia’s life and love. Her romance with Larry her career. How she goes about starting a family. I love this girl’s wit and intelligence, her naivety about her own beauty, and her passion to do the right thing.
In the first book we learned how Saskia overcame a tough start and came to be studying medicine at Cambridge. She is in a difficult relationship and battles her own perceived shortcomings and the prejudice of others.
