PDF Another landscaping Where do I begin with my review of Another Land Patersons in Scotland by author David Carlyle Honestly I m not really sure I originally requested this title because Historical Fiction is one of my favorite reading genres However after completing the reading of this book I m sad to say that I was sorely disappointed Another Land Patersons in Scotland is obviously set mainly in Scotland and the year that this part of the story begins is 1876 Edna Paterson is being forced to leave her home to travel to the Americas namely New York so she can further her education but she doesn t wish to leave Apparently she has grave misgivings yet her father will not change his mind Edna even shared with him her dream of returning home to Scotland and no one knowing who she was her father assured her all would be fine and then he sent her on her way. Another rifle another land book for sale Time passes for Edna and so does her father School is unenjoyable but at least she meets a nice man with whom she falls in love and they get married Sadly her mother in law isn t nice to her however they eventually make a tentative peace when Edna learns she is expecting Unfortunately tragedy is in store and Edna s husband John is left to raise their son and an orphaned girl by himself Finally John moves the family back to Edna s Scottish home but alas life is barely any better there. Another language 1933 What follows throughout the remainder of Another Land Patersons in Scotland is a very long winded seemingly day by day accounting of a family s struggles to live in an unfriendly and harsh environment Once John passes we then follow the children s lives until they are forced to return to the Americas if they wish to stay safe and have a better life. Another Land bookworm With all that said was Another Land Patersons in Scotland a terrible book No However I did find it to be quite unremarkable In truth the writing style is fine Everything is grammatically correct and there were brief passages that were interesting However at the end of the day I found Another Land Patersons in Scotland to be a dull and non invigorating read I do hope that the conclusion to this two book saga will have oomph 1478703393 Another Land Patersons In Scotland takes the reader back to the 1800 s and will make a person appreciate our current day indoor plumbing air conditioning heatingJohn was a strong man who raised his son Erroll and a neighbors child Kenzie by himself after his wife died He was offered a job and his boss was abusive and hateful John had bare minimum material items and not much food but by staying in faith having discipline and working hard he was able to provide for his two children He read scripture and home schooled them After John died Kenzie and Erroll married Because of continued abuse and hate from John s boss who was now Erroll s boss and a new stable boy Erroll was fired Him and Kenzie struggled for a while but then a pleasant surprise was offered to them in the United States They struggled while traveling but maintained their bond to each other Back in the late 1800 s there were people who mistreated others for their self gain and it s sad to see that that has not changed 1478703393
