“The sky had cleared, the clouds raveled to tatters, and at four oclock the sun broke through, silver on the bright green of grass and leaves and golden on the puddles in the road; all down the column men quickened the step, smiling in the sudden burst of gold and silver weather.“

“A Dangerous Collaboration” is a great mystery that is a solid addition to this series. I will say that the ending of this one has me excited for the future 😬
bailedIt‘s been 3 years so my memory of book one is a bit fuzzy but I didn‘t feel like rereading to continue so I just jumped right into book 2.
At about 50 pages in I realized that I really don‘t care about the characters and couldn‘t care less about what happens to them.
So here‘s to another DNF and another series off the shelves.
HALFWAY UP THE Hearth Hall the man and the boy faced each other.

Loved the era, but the plot dragged and left too much unexplained. Characters lacked depth, and the ending felt unresolved. Some vivid scenes, but overall it didn‘t land for me. If you're into historical fiction and don't mind ambiguity, give it a shot—otherwise, skip it.

As they ascended, retreating farther from the winding trails that marked the way to nearby villages, the world opened to him in its purest form: silent, ancient, mysterious.

pickI re-read 2 novels from this omnibus edition:
pickI may have shed tears on my physical copy of this one. This is a slow-burn hug of two love stories - man/woman and parent/child, 1925 and 1936. There was no excitement or mystery to anxiously finish a chapter, but there was this weight of undeniable love holding me in my comfy chair and crushing on Lawrence Weston.
