E 'release just before Christmas, but I expect to have in hand the paper copy to read ...
Samantha loves animals (on this there is no doubt that it has seen, though I have lost count, 5 cats, 1 dog, 2 horses and a rabbit) and his love were born ... this anthology of short stories where the animals are victims of some evil man, the other creatures who deserve respect and who often end up changing the better the lives of the protagonists of these stories will end up like the author to soften in front of an abandoned rabbit or a horse that is about to become cannon fodder and then be willing to save these animals, devoting part of his heart and his energy ...
Even if they are short stories and a narrative pattern quite similar, the book overall is nice and pleasant to read, so even though Christmas is past and Snow is now rock, I recommend it all the same ...
My first novel: PLOT: ALTON, 1797 Emma Carter dreams of a marriage of love and not of convenience even though it has at its disposal a small dowry. After many years he met his old friend to play, count Tom Wight, which is just unpleasant and unbearable.

"I did not expect a first-person narrative and it unsettled me, but then you get used to and become a part of life and thoughts of the protagonist. becomes part of a world that knows the smells and scenes Jane Austen, but in some ways to know the whole family and the development of stories for all components took me back in time to a much loved and never forgotten reading: Little Women recommended .... "(cris Ec)
"This novel reminded me a lot of small women Alcott, except that they were far more 'losers'. do no more than three stars for the originality of the book just a bit' Scarsini of the plot, including the locations Bath is famous in a clear reference to Austen. on the other hand I understand that someone must be inspired by a novel set in 800 living ... however, ultimately, as the first book is not bad, also because, originality aside, the story takes, at least it has taken me of the kind referred to above are passionate. "(Cassandra)
" Too bad it ended the way 'in a hurry this book ... I really liked it, takes you back in time making you live fully described the ups and downs ... The happy ending is obvious given the kind of literature that represents, but there are certainly plot twists ... The only remark is reminiscent Pride and Prejudice and some parts even Little Women .. but this does not mean good narrative style of the author .. "(Evenings)
" What about this story ... I really liked it and I finally managed to find the atmosphere at 'Pride and Prejudice that I love so much! The writing is very smooth and I think that this is precisely the merit of this author, able to express in a small number of pages of deep feelings and a story worthy of great novels! I highly recommend! "(Arima)
" complicates the rainy summer day I started and finished reading this book in a flash. I penetrated into the life of the Carter family, particularly of Emma, because it is precisely this character to tell the story. Emma is a young man with a passion for books, knowing that the social background of his family can not satisfy the expectations of seeing his mother in wanting to marry their children of the nobility. you believe in true love and wants nothing more. But when he meets not only does not recognize it, but also pushes him away with contempt ... All the events that followed this refusal, however, the conduranno towards the path of understanding. Emma learns to read into and understand what is really important. Reading delicate and sweet set in England, between parties and castles, but most sincere affection. reading that advice. " (Irene Pecik)
"I have never read a romance novel. Suddenly a rainy summer morning I feel like my eyes get lost in words steeped in fleeting glances, the shy red cheeks of the English countryside, of butter biscuits, clothes vintage. I want my mind to go with magical carriages in the snow, enchanted by witty dialogue of gentlemen of the past. I want to be able to see those places, to feel those thoughts, those emotions live. I like the light of love banality of a novel non-trivial. Instinctively, I know which door to knock, and a week after all this is in my hands with the work of Samantha. " (Jessica Ravera)
"I devoured. I recommend it to all the readers who love the atmosphere created by Jane Austen. The author has the ability to repeat these same romances with a touch of humanity, humor, sensitivity and psychology to which the legendary Jane has accustomed us. Fascinating descriptions of the environment, choreographed (buildings, cities, nature, hiking ...), clothes, the fashion of the time. And interesting dialogue for two characteristics: they are the reproduction of discourses of the time (with the use of you, manors where needed, etc..) and fast as similar to the play (ie without explanation of the verb 'said', "said "...). The result really pleasant, a reading that remains in my heart. "(Elisabetta Modena)
" Sweet and gentle. It 's a book that immerses you in the eighteenth century English, when women were still considered cute little creatures to be protected and the men turned to them with incredible kindness. Apart from some misprint on which you can fly, some negative points of the reading were two: the consolidation of this a bit too much dialogue and descriptions (in the sense that the description of an action, the dialogue of a the response of another person and are written below each other, instead for me would have been more clear way to put some more in the head ..) and the fact that at certain points you has the impression that the story is told in a very detached, with little momentum, as if describing a scene but it is really lived. A praise to the author, however, that with his book, has enabled the romance of my life a few hours of absolute joy. :-) "(Natasha)
