This was a great book. I couldn't put it down. I thought that it was going to be real slow by the size of the book. But it was such a great read. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Do not let the length of this one scare you away. It's well worth the read! I'm not usually a fan of traditional romances, but Sherryl Caulfield has crafted a wonderful story. You cannot help but follow along with the characters as they face whatever comes their way. The descriptive narrative will leave you completely and fully immersed in a beautiful world that many of us will only ever be able to imagine in our wildest dreams. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book. You will not regret it.**I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to the author and/or publisher. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Three words…startling – epic – romance! This is an epic love story that tests the wills of Samuel and Rebecca, challenges their love, duty to family and willingness to forgive. Most importantly, they learn what it is to hope in the face of tragic circumstances and uncomfortable surroundings.Developed historical descriptions (check) …beautiful scenic detail (check) …and then there is the love story. Whew, this was an emotional story and down right nerve-wrecking at times. Just when I thought I had the emotional nuances of this book figured out the storyline threw me for another loop. Caulfield definitely kept me on my toes and knocked me off my feet at a few key points during the novel. I rarely experience those, “I didn’t see that coming…” moments when reading. In this case, I read each page in nervous anticipation, unsure of whether or not Rebecca and Samuel’s love would be realized and if it was realized whether it would survive. Her writing kept me in limbo between expecting the worst and praying for the best, not knowing which one would meet me on the next page. I truly enjoyed this read and I think that many of you will love this page-turner as well.

This was a magnificent novel - a long and powerful story with wonderful highs and tragic lows. The story is placed in Newfoundland and the writing depicts its stark, harsh climate. Most of the story takes place during WW I, conveying the impact on both those who fought and those they left behind.This is a long story (510 pages), so it's not a quick read. And, it's Part 1 of the trilogy. I'm looking forward to Part 2! I received this book as an LT Member Giveaway in exchange for an honest review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieThe Iceberg Trilogy (Book 1)
If you crave epic, adventurous love stories, then meet Samuel and Rebecca and the iceberg that started it all. Two years after the sinking of the Titanic, fifteen year-old Rebeca Crowe's fascination with icebergs leads her to save a shipwrecked survivor, Samuel Dalton, the nineteen-year old son of a Toronto medical family. Love sparks in the crystal cave of an iceberg but is thwarted by an unreasonable father and the Great War that drags Samuel and his brother, Matthew, to the Western Front as medical officers. Knowing Rebecca is home safe in Newfoundland brings Samuel great comfort. But as the war moves towards its final harrowing days, they both discover that tragedy and terror can strike anywhere, setting their love on an unforeseen path. Only when Samuel and Rebecca can fully come to terms with such devastating loss and their impossible choices can their love soar. With an emotional intensity reminiscent of The Bronze Horseman, Seldom Come By, named after an actual place in Newfoundland, is an unforgettable journey across waves and time and the full spectrum of human emotions. "Seldom Come By is a haunting love story set against the windswept coast of Newfoundland. The story draws you in from the opening lines and takes you on a compelling journey across time and continents, through love, loss, heartache and healing. It is a beautiful and memorable story - a great accomplishment and a wonderful read." Julie Fison, author of teenage romances in the Hardie Grant 'Smitten' series "I read the first chapter of Seldom Come By in the Romance Writers of Australia's Ripping Start Competition and was immediately taken in by the beautiful descriptions, world building and the unique and soulful characterisation. And now that I've had the opportunity to read it all, I can say the whole book is wonderful, a real pleasure to read. The quality of writing is excellent and the story atmospheric and intriguing. Brilliant, absolutely beautiful." Babette Furster, Romance Writers of Australia, Ripping Start Judge 2013 "Great job on creating that 'fogged-in' atmosphere that Newfoundland is famous for. I have lived that 'fogged-in' feeling many times. The iceberg was an amazing scene to experience. That sense of longing and yearning that followed was palpable. And from there the tension and excitement just grew, with scenes that were wrenching, breathtaking and moving." Leah Sparkes, native Newfoundlander "I loved the style of this book and the blossoming romance between Samuel and Rebecca. Their intense love for each other reminded me of Tatiana and Alexander. This book has a slow build then at a certain point it takes off and it is absolutely gripping. You are on the very edge of you seat. Your mouth is open. I admire Rebecca's strength to prevail through heartache and sadness, tragedy and loss and her toughness as a younger woman living in Newfoundland. Some scenes were particularly moving - tears down my face. This book has it all. I was enthralled. I simply could not put it down " Su Sprott, reader "Set on the edge of Newfoundland, Seldom Come By tells the love story of shipwreck survivor Samuel Dalton and his rescuer, teenage Rebecca Crowe. The author's breathtaking descriptions of sea and landscapes and the historical setting drew me into the first few pages of the book but the relationships between the characters kept me reading. A shocking event that occurred about halfway through the book compelled me to finish the book in only two more sittings. I feel that the book's themes of love, loss, forgiveness and healing would make it a terrific book club pick and lead to great discussions. I look forward to reading the author's next two books in this series." Rochelle Braun, reader Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

An absolutely astonishing, epic historical romance. As someone who is not always fond of romances, this book kept me interested the whole way through. The beautiful descriptions brought me to the distinct landscape of the Newfoundland coast, also the details of different icebergs brought out their beauty, uniqueness and made them a gorgeous setting for a romance. The characters are developed with intensity and emotion. Rebecca is joyful, adventurous and hard working with a strong sense of wonder, making her easy to identify with and ride her wave of emotions as the book advances. The historical aspects of the story were also gripping. It was interesting to see Canada's involvement in the Great War and the impacts it had on the country. There is also a point of view from the trenches, read through Samuel's brother, Matthew's point of view that is raw and honest. Seldom Come By is an emotional roller coaster of a story that is high in anticipation from page to page.
