Journal Entry 1 by Zarylia from Saint Paul, Minnesota USA on Saturday, November 22, 2003

I haven't yet read this but it is on my TBR pile, it may take a while for me to get around to it as my pile grows practically every day.

From the back:

Caroline Venable has everything her Southern heritage promised: money, prestige, a powerful husband--and a predictable routine of country club luncheons, cocktail parties, and dinners hosting her husbands wealthy friends, clients, and associates in his successful land-developing conglomerate.

To escape her stifling routine, Caro drinks a little too much. But her true solace is the Lowcountry island her beloved grandaddy left her--an oasis of breathtaking beauty that is home to a band of wild ponies. When Caro learns that her husband must develope the land or lose the business, she is devastated. The Lowcountry is her heritage--and what will happen to the ponies whose spirit and freedom have captivated her since childhood?

Saving the island could cost Caro more than she ever imagined. To succeed, she must confront the part of herself numbed by alcohol and careful avoidance--and shatter the long-held ideals about her role in society, her marriage, and ultimately, herself.

I loved this book. Siddons has a way of developing both the characters and the landscapes like no other author. I was drawn in the first page. I laughed, I cried, and I hated to see it end. Sending it home tomorrow!
