Can Beth change his mind? Will Wynn listen ...?

When Calls the Heart

Laugh, cry and learn with Beth as she experiences life and love on the prairie!

I chose this books for the Spring Reading Thing 2008 because I am really enjoying the 'Love Comes Softly' series by the same author. Unfortunately I found this book rather a struggle and would probably not have finished it were it not for having listed it. The main character - Elizabeth - seems wooden and the plot plodding. All this changes for the last three or four chapters, however, and I have hopes that further books in the series will be better ...

On way to AnglersRest

Arrived today. I have a few rings in front, all easy reads so this won't be here long!

I really enjoyed this book. Set in Canada in the early 1900s. Elizabeth, a teacher in Ontario is encouraged to visit Alberta where her half brother resides with his family. After consideration Elizabeth makes the trip West, to rural Canada where she accepts a teaching post. She meets and falls in love with a Mountie called Wynn, who firmly believes that he should not marry because of the harshness of the terrain, but can Elizabeth encourage Wynn to change his mind?

I must try and seek the rest of the series. Thanks for sharing and should be traveling back to laura0141 after the May bank holiday.

Received with thanks.
