Winter Sea | Susanna Kearsley
New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!Fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series will devour this hauntingly beautiful tale of love and time travel by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susanna Kearsley."History has all but forgotten..."In the spring of 1708, an invading Jacobite fleet of French and Scottish soldiers nearly succeeded in landing the exiled James Stewart in Scotland to reclaim his crown.Now, Carrie McClelland hopes to turn that story into her next bestselling novel. Settling herself in the shadow of Slains Castle, she creates a heroine named for one of her own ancestors and starts to write.But when she discovers her novel is more fact than fiction, Carrie wonders if she might be dealing with ancestral memory, making her the only living person who knows the truth-the ultimate betrayal-that happened all those years ago, and that knowledge comes very close to destroying her...""Powerful, atmospheric, enthralling, and simply mesmerizing, [""The Winter Sea""] is one of the best books you'll read this year!"" -Singletitles.com""Susanna Kearsley's obvious love of history is infectious... ""The Winter Sea ""is an acknowledgement that so many of us are haunted by the deeds of our ancestors, perhaps literally...""-Gail Anderson-Dargatz, international bestselling author of "A Recipe for Bees"

For my birthday this year I bought myself a trip to Scotland!!!!!!!!!! I‘m going with my sister and I asked her to put some local bookshops on the itinerary! I am over the moon at the prospect of observing and listening to Scottish men in their native habitat. Now, what do you all think the odds are of meeting Bryan Dick while I‘m there? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍆🥰😅

I absolutely ADORED this novel!! It took me forever to get through it but that was no fault of the story...this year hasn‘t really helped my attention span. Now that I‘m done I just wish there was even more. I forgot how much I love her writing and I‘ll need to remember that next year! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 16 points for #merryreaders #wintergames2020

Weekly check in for #wintergames2020! I completed 3 books (almost 4...I really wanted to finish the tagged book but didn‘t read as much as I hoped). I also shared lots of ornaments and holiday tv shows/movies I‘ve been watching. The only readathon I‘ve been counting is #readyourwayreadathon by @TheSpineView . My total points for the week: 543 for #merryreaders!

@Laughterhp Congrats on reaching 50k!!!

The book I would recommend would be The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley. I love any book set in Scotland with multiple time lines and a little mystery. It was my favorite book of 2018 and there is a sequel.

An intriguing tale.The concept/theory of genetic memory plays a large role in the story development. I didn‘t know much about “The ‘O8”. Did the French conspire to ensure this invasion‘s failure? A question that eludes a definitive answer, but, yet, is so much fun to debate.The author did “fool” me in a couple of instances, & while I‘m used to Louise Penny doing this, I was pleasantly surprised by Susanna Kearsley‘s skills at doing similarly!

I absolutely love how Susanna Kearsley gives a history lesson while telling her own story. I love how she crafted this tale. From the authors point of view as well as the main character, Sophia. I was so emotionally invested in this book that I actually cried at the end. I appreciated that the love scenes weren't smutty. I felt this book was educational, tactful, and lovely. With an exciting storyline that keeps you guessing till the very end.

“I do promise that you will survive this. Faith, my own heart is so scattered round the country now, I marvel that it has the strength each day to keep me standing. But it does,' she said, and drawing in a steady breath she pulled back just enough to raise a hand to wipe Sophia's tears. 'It does. And so will yours.'
'How can you be so sure?'
'Because it is a heart, and knows no better.”
― Susanna Kearsley, The Winter Sea

I‘m in the mood for something Outlanderish, we‘ll see if this can touch the Jamie and Claire sized hole in my heart... In reality, I know that‘s asking way too much. My actual expectations are just that I will enjoy the story. Also, I hate this cover. A lot. The other one is soooo pretty.

erista I love Susanna Kearsley and this is one of my favorites of hers. Hope you enjoy it. 7y

Bakingbookworm This is the first book I'm re-reading in 2017. I love Kearsley's writing and characters. My goal this year is to read what I own and reread books that I've loved in the past. I think this book is a good way to start my challenge. 8y

When I haven't got a clue what to read, or have fallen into the dreaded book slump, I go for one of these #feelgoodbooks. Kearsley pairs history, time travel, great locations, and some romance in an easy-to-read way. They aren't the deepest books out there, but they lift my mood every time! #Augustphotochallenge #augustofpages #feelgoodbook

Zelma I completely agree. She is one of my favorites! 8y

I LOVED this book. More than liked, loved. As in, I bought it on my kindle and after reading it will buy a physical copy I loved it that much. If you like writing and Scotland and history and really great romance, this book is for you.
