Women of the Dunes: A Novel | 
pickWomen of the Dunes tells the intertwined stories of 3 women across eras on the west coast of Scotland. Much of the book is centered around current day Libby, who has traveled to the area to understand her family‘s past. Well-told book and I loved the audio reader‘s Scottish burr. It made the book that much better.
pickI loved this book and the parallel plot lines! I'm a sucker for archeology, historic homes & legends! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickGood solid story. The audio narrator wasn't very good but I still enjoyed this. If you enjoy Susanna Kearsley or Posie Graeme-Evans this is a good rec.
pickJust finished- so far leaning positive in reflections of this book. It was a nice read, interesting to say the least. I would recommend it to historical fiction fans.
pick4 ⭐ a Scottish tale of a holy man and a pagan woman. Weaves between the past and the present. Libby goes to Ulleness for a dig, but also because her grandmothers past is linked to this land. She and Rhodri begins to unwind the legends and find what links them. A good story
Just starting this. Needed to hold a book in my hands for a change😉
Have a blessed Easter all my Litsy friends!
@Addison_Reads thank you so much! The book arrived safely and the card is so special! I cant wait to read! #litsyfriendsarethebest
This mystery set in Scotland was the choice for my local library's bookclub this month. I'm trying to read it this weekend, since bookclub meets on Wednesday, but I'm having a hard time getting into it. 😕
Anyone read this one? Does it get better? I'm only 80 pages in so far and the story is moving a bit too slow for my tastes.
pickAn atmospheric and suspenseful Gothic Romance set is Scotland surrounding multiple generations of people who lived there. Anyone who‘s a fan of Barbara Michals‘ gothic romances would love this book. #romantsy
Nevermind the other 6 books I'm currently reading; I'm in the mood to start this on this rainy dreary afternoon. 🐈📚🌧️
A little early morning reading
pickI read this for my #beachread for the #booked2018 challenge. I was skeptical about it because I‘m always skeptical about books involving archaeology, but I quite enjoyed it. There‘s a little mystery, a little romance, a little historical fiction...in other words the perfect beach read for me!
Starting this at the beach before heading to the airport. I can‘t believe our vacation is over... what a fun week.
Ugh, guys I think I‘m gonna bail. Someone else on Litsy said this is very forgettable and they are totally right. I hate bailing, but why bother when there are so many other good things to read?
And the book promptly fell off the deck from its precarious position and into the mud after this was taken. 🤦🏻♀️ I‘m the first one to check it it at the library so I can‘t blame it on anyone either!
About 100 pages in and it‘s starting to pick up a little. Hopefully, it continues!
so-soNot a bad read overall. Somewhat predictable and a little forgettable. 🤷
pickLife got in the way of reading this week, so I‘m returning this two days late. But the book was so good that it‘s worth the fine.
pick🏴 Three distinct generations spanning hundreds of years, linked by a legend buried in the dunes. Loved this one! Pick it up if you love mysterious stories with a Scottish setting!
pickScotland, back and forth in time, murders, illegitimate children, authentic characters, and an old estate all greet us in WOMEN OF THE DUNES.
Any reader who enjoys castles, secrets, looking for clues in old documents, and re-tracing the steps of characters that lived long ago will want to read WOMEN OF THE DUNES.
And that cover...love it!!

Do you LOVE that cover!! :)
The two stories - present and past - connected, came full circle, and brilliantly meshed together as mirrored stories.
Any reader who enjoys castles, secrets, looking for clues in old documents, and re-tracing the steps of characters that lived long ago will want to read WOMEN OF THE DUNES.
WOMEN OF THE DUNES is going to be a favorite. 5/5
Thank you, Natalia, from Simon and Schuster.
Looks good.
I really enjoyed Ms. Maine‘s other book, THE HOUSE BETWEEN TIDES.
