À propos de cet audio

 In post-Civil War New York City, sixteen-year-old Aislynn Denehy cannot find a job, she has no place to live and no family to help her. Some might think this is a problem; Aislynn believes it is an opportunity. No formulaic romance, this well-researched love story depicts life as it truly was for the thousands of women who went west reaching for a new life. Aislynn's journey begins in a New York City tenement and leads her across the frontier to a Utah mining camp where she must cope with the three very different men in her life: smart, solicitous Tim; good-natured, good-guy Johnny; and the intense but intriguing Liam Moran. Life in the roughshod camp brings small joys and devastating losses. Susan Denning's engaging debut novel races through authentic experiences involving historical events until it erupts in an unexpected ending.©2006 Susan Denning (P)2015 Tantor Fiction Historique Romance Romance occidentale Western New York

"Far Away Home" by Susan Denning is a historical novel that had the potential to be a best-seller, but falls short in some key areas. The narrative is engaging and well-researched, immersing readers in the rich historical backdrop of the American West. The character development, particularly of the protagonist, is commendable and keeps readers invested in their journey.

However, despite these strengths, the book suffers from excessive padding. There are numerous sections that feel drawn out, diluting the overall impact of the story. This padding not only slows down the pacing but also detracts from the central plot, making it a more laborious read than it needed to be.

The ending, unfortunately, is where the novel falters the most. It feels abrupt and unsatisfying, leaving many plot threads unresolved. This might be somewhat alleviated by the existence of a sequel, but a more conclusive ending would have provided a stronger finish to the first installment.

Despite these drawbacks, it has its merits, and I appreciate that there is a second part that may address some of the unresolved issues. With tighter editing and a more fulfilling conclusion, it could have truly shone as a standout historical fiction novel.

I have mixed feelings about this book.
