Relation Supposing Books River of Destiny

As a rule I enjoy anything written by this author. In my opinion she has written some wonderful books but this one missed the mark for me.

It is written to encapsulate three separate centuries and it took a long while to get into. It was confusing to sort out the different scenarios, timeframes and characters. It would just start to gain momentum in one scenario/century and then change to another and that gave the story a jumpy, eratic feel. The delivery of the story/ plot wasn't smooth.

I could see what the author tried to accomplish and thought that the second half of the book exceeded the first half which was disjointed. The author's style was evident but it wasn't up to the usual standard.

Notice Appertaining To Books River of Destiny

In River of Destiny Barbara Erskine has cleverly combined stories from three very different time frames:In Anglo-Saxon Suffolk, we watch as the sword known as Destiny Maker is forged in a land riddled with mistrust and ancient superstition. In nineteenth century Suffolk, local blacksmith Daniel Smith is helpless as Lady Emily Crosby begins her deadly game of sexual dominance. In modern day Suffolk Zoe, Ken and Leo are disturbed by events seemingly out of their control and yet as the evil which

How can a book with Anglo-Saxon curses and vengeful ghosts go so wrong?

Set on the banks of the river Deben in Suffolk, River of Destiny will take you to three different eras. You'll be plunged into the Ango-Saxon/Viking world of 865AD, find yourself next in 1865 Victorian times in Suffolk, before surfacing in present day Suffolk.Ken and Zoe, the present day characters, have moved from London to a barn conversion in Suffolk on the banks of the river Deben, where sailing is so accessible. The barn that Ken and Zoe move into is one of three barn conversions that in

Ken and Zoe have moved from London to rural Suffolk to a set of barn conversions on the river Deben, so that Ken can have more time with his boat. Zoe wasn't too keen on the move, she isn't that interested in sailing but hasn't told her husband until long after they've moved and the deed is done.There are three barns on their complex, along with The Old Forge, which once belonged to the Victorian hall that is nearby, now converted into luxury apartments. Ken and Zoe have The Old Barn, next to

I have been wanting to read books by this author for a long time. Finally, I decided that it was time and, I am now addicted to her writing and trying to figure out how to get all her other books!First, let me say that I love historical fiction. It's the place I always come back to for books that can satisfy my thirst for knowledge of other times and places. This book was totally amazing. It had two separate historic periods (Anglo-Saxon & Victorian) plots, plus a modern storyline. So I was

I found it difficult to buy into the story. The characters in every era were too far fetched. I can't add too much more without revealing plot details which would completely ruin any future reader's enjoyment as finding out what happens next is the only enjoyment this book brings, certainly for me anyway. By the end I began not to care whether the 'ancient evil' was resolved or not and felt increasingly irritated at the author's dumbing down of religion to a godless karma based hodge podge.

Fantastic...almost as good as her first three books! I read it in one day - which should tell you how compelling the writing is.
