I came across this book review on http://www.goodreads.com/ for my novel Whittlewood. Although the book was first published in 1997 'Ancestral Celt's' review of 4th September 2011 gave me a tremendous buzz to know that the book can still cause a shiver!
[EXTRACT] "This book is a real page-turner. I started reading it and had to finish it in one sitting; I just could not put it down. Whittlewood is a tale of murder and magical mystery, with some romance and a few touches of history, all of which combine to entice the reader to keep reading and reading - ever hungry for more ... Suzanne Ruthven has woven a story of magic, mystery and reality into a marvellous book. I hope she continues to write such engrossing tales. What's more her descriptive style is such that I could smell the incense and greenery in the Church; I was transported. There is only one slight quibble with the book and that is the occasional editing or printing error, but even so, I could not be wrenched from my reverie in Ashmarsh. This is one of the most original fictional works I have read in recent years. Read it!!!"
I'd been thinking that the next step might be to add it to the Kindle list and this clinched it.
Thank you Ancestral Celt!
You're very welcome. I still re-read the book every now and then. Glad the review gave you a buzz.
ReplyDeletehello, just rediscovered you through Trevor Greenfield and couldn't resist making contact again after so many years. Glad to see all is going well for you - and I still re-read Whittlewood :-) - and hope Ireland is good too.
