Reviews

[Hannah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A suspenseful and interesting romp that takes less than a week. Young lovers who are too proud to admit it to each other are on holiday in the mountains with the girl’s society mother. A horseback ride into the mountains leads them to meet a young local couple and the young man undertakes a strenuous hike to bring mountain laurel down to the young lady.

Who knew that hike would spark the first act in a series of events that range from bandits on the run, a train hold-up, a masked ball, and a night on the mountain in a massive storm? But somehow the author is talented enough to get all that in one book in a mostly-believable manner and make me enjoy the wild ride.

I’ll be reading more of her books.

This 99 year old book was very enyoyable. It's dated, but that's part of what makes it a great read. There are several plots going on in this novel. There are two couples who seem to see something they've missed in the other couple's choices. While that's going on, there is trouble brewing in the hills of Virginia! Those mountain folks can't be trusted. There's a great surprise ending that I didn't see coming. I mentioned that it was dated. There's a cotillon that takes place. The men decide what flower to use for their boutoniere. Horses are still the primary mode of transportation in the back country. This novel is a great combination of romance and adventure. Ms. Chapin, by the way, co-wrote the libretto for the original production of Babes In Toyland. She also wrote a novel that was the basis for one of Mary Pickford's silent movies. Take a trip back to 1917, and enjoy a fun read!
