The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley


TITLE:  The Firebird
AUTHOR:  Kearsley, Susanna
GENRE:  Fiction
DATES READ:  10/29/2014 - 11/17/2014
MY RATING:  4/5

My boyfriend fed my book addiction once more with this addition to my Susanna Kearsley collection.  So far, I've read The Winter Sea, and The Shadowy Horses, both of which were fantastic!

This one is about a girl with the ability to see the history of objects, and the stories of their owner, just by touching them.  I can't wait to get started!

The Firebird is another triumph for Susanna Kearsley in the historical fiction genre.  This switches seamlessly between past and present to weave a tale of love, and courage through generations.  Nicola is a strong female main character, and I loved how old favorite characters from Kearsley's previous novels made appearances.

It was a lovely journey, and was another classic Susanna Kearsley novel.  If you haven't picked one up, I highly recommend it.

Will read and write soon!
