Echoes

Product Information

After their plane crashed on a deserted island on their way to Berlin, Fiona and Miles need to find out what happened because it seems their plane crashing wasn’t an accident. This is a very fast read that keeps you turning the pages just to find out what exactly is happening only to get to the end and find out that this will not be a stand-alone book and you're not getting any answers. I did enjoy the story, characters and pace of the book, but I am not sure If I want to read a sequel. It seems fate is giving them a helping hand in the romance department even if the rest of their life is changing forever. Slowly, they both start to piece together anything that can be labeled a clue or an idea of what’s going on, but even that doesn’t lend any clarity to their situation.

Yes, you have fighting skills and know how to stay calm in stressful situations, but you do not have to compare every single scenario with how it related to your training.

Clare and David--divided as children by a rigid social code that branded her as shanty Irish and him as gentry. At first, it seems like two separate storylines, and I wasn’t sure which one was real, but it ultimately resolves clearly, so stick with it.

It includes cardigans, sweaters, vests, and a dress, as well as shawls, socks, hats, mittens, a blanket, and even a tie. I loved how strong and determined Fiona was, but I felt like that fact was thrown in my face way too often. The stakes are high from the very first page when Fiona is relating the abject fear setting in on Miles and herself as their plane begins to go down and the tension never really lets up from then till the end. I felt the rush of the city, the grit, the crowds, the fresh air of the park our people ran in - it felt like Berlin each time we were back in this time. The author explores the tensions within families in a small community and shows that traditions may still assert themselves in spite of every effort to escape them.I sometimes find her books to wordy and maybe a bit out dated but I did not feel this was the case with this book. Oh yes, this is one of those novels that will keep you guessing at every turn and reading through the pages like running water!

Their children's lives are guided by their social class and expectations: young David Power goes off to Dublin to earn his medical degree, following in his father's footsteps, while young Gerry Doyle stays in the town and inherits his father's business. Drawing us into a vanished world, Echoes weaves an intricate tapestry of a mother’s love, a daughter’s courage…and the unwavering faith that sustained them–even in history’s darkest hour.I’d actually be fine either way as this one was one heck of a ride to get there as it messes with your mind more than a lot of psychological thrillers out there and I loved that so I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
