Come What May - Sherryl Caulfield - Bog

The second instalment of The Iceberg Trilogy, Come What May, continues the story of Samuel and Rebecca Dalton through the lives of their children, most notably, their beautiful, troubled daughter, Evangeline - Gene to all who knew and loved her. In 1951 - the summer of her eighteenth year - Gene embarks on a northern odyssey with her eldest brother, Jonathan. Under the northern lights they travel as part of a medical expedition to remote Cree settlements across the grand Canadian wilderness. There, she encounters people and events that will influence her life forever, including the unflappable Sonny Marlow, a young pilot not long returned from Europe where he served as part of the Allied forces in the Berlin Airlift operation. Drawn together by love but kept apart by her fears, theirs is a tumultuous relationship that is as unpredictable as the woman Gene becomes. From the Saskatchewan prairies to the Rocky Mountains, from James Bay to Vancouver, life and love holds many surprises and trials for Gene and Sonny. Only when Gene can walk away from the devastating shadows towards the light can she and Sonny live the life that held such promise when they were young and on the edge of love. ADVANCE PRAISE
"So much wonderfulness in this book"
Library Thing Reviewer PRAISE for SELDOM COME BY, Book 1 of THE ICEBERG TRILOGY Descriptive, detailed and quite the page-turner, Seldom Come By focuses on the lives of Samuel and Rebecca (and their families), the beginnings of their romance, their separations, their ups and downs. A very good debut and one well worth reading for lovers of historical fiction and romantic historical fiction alike.
Romantic Historical Reviews Seldom Come By is the beautiful story of Rebecca and Samuel. I adore historical novels and this is one of the most well written ones that I have read in a very long time. This book was just like the icebergs that the author described: beautiful, breathtaking and the story just flowed much like I imagine the icebergs do through the water. I would highly recommend this book for historical fiction lovers. I can't wait for the rest of the trilogy!
Goodreads Librarian Seldom Come By is an exquisite tale of love and loss, forgiveness and healing. I want no NEED the next book NOW!
The Eclectic Reader I fell in deep with the main characters and really cared about what was happening with them, but also the people around them. It sucked me in, gave me heart palpitations and made me think about them and how to get back to them when I wasn't reading. THAT was what I was looking for. The last half of the book was beautiful and heartbreaking and romantic. I'd definitely recommend this book if you like historical romance. I will definitely be reading the next two books in the series although this one stands well on its own.
