"..for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light on the water, in the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks. I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath." *sigh*

This is one of the best books I've read - Juliet Marillier, you know how to tell a great story.

"I sat on the sand and held the first one, then another in my hand, marveling at these tiny convoluted homes that had each sheltered some small creature of the sea. For I was the daughter of the forest, and for all my growing years had not ventured far from its enveloping arms, had not imagined the wonder, the strangeness of the ocean and its secret life." (cont'd in the comments)...

"Weep, dear one. Our love wraps you like a blanket. Our strength is yours, and yours keeps our hope alive." --It feels like each update I am saying Poor Sorcha! I need to get some Kleenex.

Lady Oonagh is nastier than Snow White's stepmom. Poor Sorcha! I can't seem to put this book down and I am not even noticing how much time I have spent reading.

I keep picturing Snow White's stepmom as the Lady Oonagh. Nasty lady...

"Sitting under the rowans, listening to the small sounds of bird and insect about their daily business, I wept for my father, and for my brothers, and for myself."

This is such a beautiful story. I love how the historical works with the fantasy.

LOL! I'm telling you, you have to read it in context. It doesn't work otherwise, LOL.
I'm going to. :) I'm determined to pare down my to-reads this year, so this one will most likely be read this year.
This book made me cry and cry. Tears of sadness, tears of frustration, and tears of happiness.
