 ... children who turn up at Mattie's house for food almost daily. The next farm over is an efficient farm as the family have sons who all work and contribute to the farm. This farm is the Loomis farm and the second eldest son takes a shine to Mattie and they are soon 'Sparking' which is their word for 'dating' it seems. The story flits backwards and forwards a bit but not majorly so and it starts with the drowning and finding the body of the young girl in the lake. The search is still on for her companion, a young man who ...more

A Gathering Light - Jennifer Donnelly: Mattie's time of decisions (1479 words)

Rating:

"A Gathering Light" by Jennifer Donnelly ISBN: 0747570639 This was another book picked up from the Westfield Centre Bookcrossing shelf and one I thought might appeal to both my husband and me. From the blurb on the back it sounded like it might be a bit of crime fiction but in fact despite the fact that the story is loosely based on a read murder that shocked the district at the time in the Adirondack Mountain area of New York State at the turn of the century there rarely us not much of the story in the book that is to do with the crime. The story is set in the poor farming community in the Adirondack mountains and the central ...  Read the complete review

A Gathering Light - Jennifer Donnelly: A gripping step back into time (415 words)
by - written on 24/06/10 (Very useful, 112 readings)
Rating:

I picked up this novel a couple of years a go and it's always one that I re-read on a regular basis as it's a gripping story no matter how many times you read it. The Story: The plot focuses on Mattie, a sixteen year old girl who's a very talented writer and a farm girl. The story switches between her life as a sixteen year old and her life later on when she's working in up-state New York and discovers a murder on Big Moose Lake. My Opinion: This is definitely one of my favourite books. It's marketed as a young adult novel but it will appeal to older readers as well. As a result of it's intended readership it makes the novel easy to read ...  Read the complete review
