Book Description

In this classic novel of two willful lovers caught in a breathless adventure of deception and betrayal, #1 New York Times bestselling author Judith McNaught has created a powerful and unforgettable masterpiece.

ELIZABETH CAMERON

The Countess of Havenhurst possessed a rare gentleness and fierce courage to match her exquisite beauty. But her reputation is shattered when she is discovered in the arms of Ian Thornton, a notorious gambler and social outcast.

IAN THORNTON

A dangerously handsome man of secret wealth and mysterious lineage, his voyage to Elizabeth's heart is fraught with intrigue, scandal, and a venomous revenge.

Destined for each other, yet wary of each other's motives, Elizabeth and Ian engage in a dance of suspicion and passion that tests the very soul of their star-crossed love. As a twisting path of secrets takes them from London's drawing rooms to the mysterious Scottish Highlands, Elizabeth must learn the truth: is Ian merely a ruthless fortune hunter at heart?

I couldn't put this book down. It was like an Energizer Bunny of storytellying -it kept on telling, telling, telling. Many funny, sweet moments. A pure love story without other subplots of war, history,etc.

My only complaint is that JM heros are so mean at times. Sometimes it can be a turn off.

4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Book.......2007-07-23

I'll admit I was a bit turned off at the start. I was bored, BUT then the book quickly picked up a good pace. McNaught creates some great characters in all her books!

5 out of 5 stars Heavenly Read.......2007-03-06


I read Almost Heaven for the first time almost two years ago. This book was my introduction to regency/historical romance. I didn't realize then how high of a bar it set for the romance reads that followed.

I have since re-read Almost Heaven, and I still think it is incredibly well-written and engaging. I have a hard time putting the book down even though I've read it a few times now! The main characters, as well as the secondary characters, are complex and often funny. McNaught took the effort and time to craft this story and its characters into something memorable.

The only part of the book that I don't really like is the trial and the events that precede it. The main characters' actions during this part felt inconsistent with their actions in the rest of the book. Also, this whole story line seemed unrealistic to me. With this minor criticism aside, I whole-heartedly recommend Almost Heaven. Definitely a 5-star read.

5 out of 5 stars Absolute Heaven!!.......2007-01-05

I absolutely LOVED this book. It is the second McNaught book I've read and this was by far the best. The characters are strong and well developed and the storyline keeps you intrigued. I didn't want it to end. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical romances with lots of lusty energy, a bit of suspense and intriguing characters. Great read!

5 out of 5 stars Never Disappointed.......2006-07-17

whenever I read a Judith Mcnaught novel, it simply has all the element ones needs to enjoy the book.
One can easily go from laughing out loudly, to sadness, to frustration, to joy and finally happily ever after.
It's these feelings that make it so real and worthwhile.
Her writing is so maturely written that one can always be assured of getting their money's worth.
Since the synopsis of the novel as been adequately written by other reviewers, there isn't any need for me to repeat it here.
This book is definitely a page turner as with all of her other historical novels I have had the upmost honour to read.
The book is certainly worth so much more than 5 stars.
Awesome Read!!!!! It doesn't get any better than having a hero in Ian Thorton.

......My husband was not tried before his peers
He was merely tried before the Lords of the
British Realm. Ian Thorton has no peers

Book Description

After seven years as Washington correspondent of The Times, Martin Fletcher set off to explore the raw and untamed land far from cities and national parks. This is his account of a journey which took him to places few tourists would ever visit, to communities largely unknown to outsiders, to the quintessential America. He encounters snake-handlers, moonshiners, creationists, outlaws, polygamists, white supremacists, and communities preparing for Armageddon. He goes bear hunting in West Virginia, fur trapping in Louisiana, diamond digging in Arkansas, and gold prospecting in Nevada.

3 out of 5 stars Weird America.......2006-12-14

A British journalist ends his 8 year assignment in America with a long trip designed to find the weirdest people in America - and largely succeeds.

This is not at all a slice-of-life survey of random Americans, but a purposeful trip to interview these fringe elements. Even so, this book is a fun look at the fringe element.

The author starts from Washington D.C. and heads out to tiny Smith Island in Chesapeake bay. I think he could have found much weirder people in D.C., from corrupt, drug-using, womanizers like Mayor Barry to Congressional homosexual brothel sponsors like Barney Frank. But instead we are treated to the wonders of a vanishing way of life with the watermen on Smith Island.

He then travels through Virginia and West Virginia, going bear hunting with some good-ol'-boys and then enjoying some pentecostal snake handling at church. That the author puts hunters in the same class of "weird" as poison snake-handlers lets you see a little of his European prejudice. After reading about the snake-handlers and how many get bit or die, you just have to shake your head - something you'll do often in this book.

Then we learn about marijuana growing and moonshining, interspersed with the Melungeans - descendants of a group of pre-revolution settlers from who knows where. Even being a native American, these are groups I had no idea existed in this varied country.

Next in the Carolinas we visit a red-neck KKK shop and then islands of blacks who have their own language and culture and no whites need apply. Interesting to see these groups compared and contrasted.

A short visit to hear ex-President Carter preach in his church in Plains Georgia is included. That the arguably worst President in US history has rehabilitated his image is an example of American tolerance and forgiveness.

I found his visit in Alabama especially fun. He interviewed the last Civil War pensioner, the governor of Alabama, and had an impromptu tour of the State Supreme Court building given by the current Chief Justice. He also was shanghaied by a group of ardent Creationists who tried to convert him. The author lets a little of his disdain for those he doesn't agree with leak through, but he obviously has a soft spot for these people also.

He then spends some time seeking out towns with a history of poverty and racism. While plenty of poverty still exists, there isn't too much racism left.

The author then tours the prison in Angola and visits the Cajuns. Both of these areas were surprisingly interesting. Diamond digging in Arkansas, small town Texas and UFO Nirvana in New Mexico are also visited. Polygamists in Utah, prostitutes in Nevada, Indian reservations and various decaying towns along the way are also visited. He ends with visits to various recluses in the Northwest.

If you tried to read this book at one setting I think you would find a sameness to certain parts. The underlying theme of "weird" people can be a little trying. The author also uses the derisive term of the "State of Paranoia" to describe much of America. And though the author gives plenty of examples of weirdness, his judgements ring a little hollow given that you can't even cut a tree down in your own backyard in much of Europe without government permission.

In my 50 years of travelling the US with my itinerant Geologist father and on my own, I have crossed paths with many of these same people. In almost all of them, I have found a joie de vivre, openness, and respect for other's foibles lacking in New York, LA, London, and San Francisco. And though I think playing with poisonous snakes and trying to secede from the Union are as kooky as it gets, I just have a hard time trying to force my views on others as long as they don't hurt anyone else. So long live kooks! The world would be a poorer place without them.

Overall, I recommend this book with the advice to take it all with a grain of salt and the knowledge that these people in no way are representative of Americans in general.

5 out of 5 stars Good, solid read.......2004-03-19

I'm sure this trip could only have been undertaken by a journalist. No other professions have this many contacts as it was obvious that Fletcher was not driving randomly about the country. No sarcasm or cheap shots markes this out as something different.

5 out of 5 stars An accidental treat........2004-01-16

I'll admit that this book didn't jump off the shelf at me. In fact, I got it at a bargain sale at our college on the sole premise that I couldn't go wrong with a travelogue for a buck. However, in retrospect, I would easily pay full price for this book. It's an interesting, relaxing, and fun read.

There's enough written here about the premise of the book. I thought it was captivating though to see the real cross-section of America that he was able to meet just by hopping in his car and taking off. For those of us that are much too shy to travel across America and walk up to strangers and introduce ourselves, or for those too tied down for an extended road trip, this is a great book through which to live vicariously.

3 out of 5 stars The Wackiest American.......2003-11-09

Martin Fletcher is a reporter for the Times of London, stationed in Washington D.C., at the start of this book. He takes a sabbatical from this work, and travels across America, ostensibly in search of the "other America." You know, the rural countryside, where life is simpler and the people are poorer, less sophisticated, more honest. The problem is what he finds, and ultimately the method he uses to find it.

Fletcher travelled the country looking at various communities, but he skips large swathes of the country---New England, the MidWest, California. Instead he takes a wandering path that he gives you the impression is random, but eventually he lets it slip that he knew where he was going all along, for the most part. The result is that in his "wanderings" he discovers that rural America is peopled by strange people who speak weird dialects, religious kooks, white supremacists, more religious kooks, unreconstructed hippies, still more religious kooks, and some poor black people. It turns out that Fletcher, being a reporter from the Times, had done some research, and planned to visit various of these places before he left, *because* the people there were strange. He seems to have avoided, or driven through, the places with "just folks."

Nevertheless, the writing is reasonably interesting, and the characters are fun, for the most part. The author avoids being judgmental about everyone but the right wing white supremacist religious nuts, who he openly disdains, but of course no one really likes them anyway. The result is an uneven book, filled with interesting portraits of interesting people on the one hand, but on the other with a definitely skewed perspective of rural America that isn't particularly pleasant, to be honest. I will therefor recommend this book, but with that warning: don't take this as a portrait of America, rather it's more of a portrait of parts of America.

5 out of 5 stars Deserves the same applause as Bill Bryson.......2002-09-10

I love travel writing, of which this book is a great example. However, I only stumbled upon it because I happened to meet a friend of the author, and I think its a great shame that more people haven't been introduced to this writer. This book covers his journey from The Delmarva peninsula all the way to the Pacific NW. Along the way he took the time to meet with locals, and learn about their everyday lives and the changes that have been ongoing in many of the little nooks and crannies of this country. He had researched his trip well, and took the time to meet with local politicians and newspaper editors, all of whom added their own local flavor. I have been eagerly awaiting Bill Brysons next book and now I will add Martin Fletcher to the same waiting list.

Book Description

Almost Heaven tells the stories of the remarkable women who have bravely met two challenges: the risk of space travel and the struggle to succeed in a man's world. From Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 and Sally Ride in 1983 to Kalpana Chawla and Lauren Clark on the last flight of the Columbia, these women made history. Bettyann Holtzmann Kevles brings the women of space to life in this fascinating book, describing what motivates them, the pioneers who paved the way for them, and how their presence in the astronaut corps changed NASA. Setting her story against the background of the Cold War and the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Kevles takes us from Cape Canaveral to Star City in Russia and back. She describes the years of rejection before women were allowed to train as astronauts in the U.S. space program and the problems that female cosmonauts encountered in the U.S.S.R. Kevles talks to the first women chosen by NASA to be astronauts in 1978 and to many women who have followed them. These women, she shows, have not only broken down barriers to join the most exclusive men's club in the world--the space program--they have become players in the greatest adventure of our time, the human exploration of space. This paperback edition includes Kevles's thoughts on the 2005 Discovery mission and other recent developments in the space program as well as her reflections on the role of female astronauts today, and perhaps tomorrow.

5 out of 5 stars Buy the paperback, not the hardback........2006-06-29


I've just read the paperback version of this book, with all the comments people posted here about errors in the hardback printed out and by my side (thank you for posting them). It looks like they were all fixed for the paperback edition - great to see when a publishing house takes notice like that.

The revised paperback version of this book is an excellent, absorbing read which I highly recommend!

3 out of 5 stars Incredibly well written. Horribly researched........2005-06-14

Kevles is a remarkably good writer. Both this book and "Naked To The Bone" are amongst the best in making science writing accessible, readable, and relevant to social mores. She's damn good.

But I ended up throwing this book across the room a few times in frustration. The fact checking was, frankly, lousy. There were so many elementary mistakes (the date of the Apollo 11 moonlanding wrong in a SPACE book, fer crissakes?) that it ruined an otherwise compelling read.

3 out of 5 stars Puzzling........2004-02-03

I am surprised just how much is wrong in this book. I am even more puzzled by the unquestioning support given to it by luminaries such as John Klineberg and Mary Ellen Strote. While a writer on health and fitness topics should not be expected to have a thorough knowledge of space history and know how many errors this book contains, I would have thought that Klineberg, former director of Loral and the Goddard Space Flight Center, would have read it a little closer and spotted the many errors. It's puzzling to see how many glowing reviews this book is receiving despite its deep flaws.

3 out of 5 stars great story with a few glaring gaffes.......2004-01-27

Let me start by adding that I just received my copy of this amazing story a couple of weeks ago, and was awed by it. Quite a wonderful read about a most amazingly hidden aspect of the space program.

Okay, several have previously stated that there are no major technical errors in the book. On page 46, when describing Skylab, she notes that the pace station was 17 cubic feet, divided into two separate levels. Since the trunk of my Jetta is 13 cubic feet, I decided to check this out with NASA. Skylab had a habitable volume of 12,700 cubic feet. That is a major error that can not go unnoticed.

If this book is republished, I hope this type of minor error gets corrected. If not, poor editing will continue to diminish an otherwise important topic and marvelously crafted tome.

3 out of 5 stars A good book? Almost........2003-12-13

This is an interesting book with a lot to say on the subject of women astronauts. On the whole, the events and the people involved in them are very well summarized, far better than many other books in fact. There are some wonderful little vignettes into how the 1978 women astronauts were integrated into the Texas social scene, which were very well observed. Pat Cowings, often overlooked as the first woman to undertake serious astronaut training directed by NASA (though she was never selected as an astronaut), gets her correct place in history at last. It also puts the FLAT medical tests in their correct place as a minor footnote in space history. It lists the womens' movement accomplishments and the changes they brought as interesting background, not allowing the politics to overtake the human story. The misreading of S. Christa McAuliffe's respected place in Concord's educational community hits a minor jarring note, but overall Holtzmann Kevles is a very accomplished writer, gets the facts straight and tells an interesting story very well.

Having said that, I really do wish that "friends of the author" would not make postings on these pages and pretend that the book is error-free. Wishing the mistakes weren't there does not make them disappear. The copy I picked up (from a book store, not a pre release copy) has all the errors that other reviewers have been kind enough to post here for the edification of the prospective purchaser (and, let's hope, the author and publisher). A simple read would find them. Just as examples, the misinformation on Lebedev is on page 87, the misdating of the first shuttle launch on page 94, the error about the last woman to Mir on page 163, spelling NASA's name wrong on page 252, Cobb's name wrong on page 253, Chaffee's name wrong on page 221, and the howling error of the wrong date of the Apollo 11 moon landing in the book's very first paragraph. I noticed another mistake also, on page 141 - Helen Sharman, like all other cosmonauts, was fitted into her space suit before her bus ride to the launch pad, not afterwards as Holtzmann Kevles believes.

I hope that the author's friends have the courage to tell her what needs correcting, and not continue to defend the indefensible. Fiction writing is allowed to play with events, and even history is open to interpretation. Holtzmann Kevles' theme, her message, is worthy and dead on. However getting basic names and dates correct (and they are mostly subjective errors of fact, not simple "typos" here ) in a history book is, I believe, essential. Save your money for a corrected second edition, assuming the publisher does the right thing.

It seems no accident that the narrator of Marianne Wiggins's sixth novel, Almost Heaven, is named Holden. Like his literary predecessor in J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, this edgy twentysomething war correspondent is also a protector of lost innocence, or at least a seeker of grace in a world gone brutal. Done in and emotionally damaged by a stint in Bosnia, Holden escapes back to the U.S. at a time when a rage of bad weather--tornadoes, heat waves, hurricanes--grips the nation and portends his immersion in a relationship of cyclonic intensity.

Once stateside, he entwines his fate with that of someone who is suffering from traumatic amnesia in response to the sudden loss of her entire family. For Melanie, Holden quickly becomes a life raft in a sea of random and unfathomable acts, and the two take off across the country in an attempt to escape the gathering storms, both real and metaphorical, that surround them. As Holden puts it: "One way or another someday, if not already, all of us will have left some one some where some dream some loneliness some thing."

Almost Heaven is an eclectic work, weaving together streams of desire, lost dreams, and sharp-edged commentary on America in its millennial madness into a haunting story of two people who succumb to erotic frenzy, both losing and finding themselves in each other. Wiggins, the prize-winning author of John Dollar, has produced a raw, kinetic book that explores the question of what it is like to run so hard from memory that it's as though your life never happened, as though you had just been born. --Marianne Painter

Book Description

Before his thirtieth birthday Holden Garfield has already burned out as a journalist in war-torn Bosnia. Returning to the United States, he hopes the familiar sunshine and rolling hills of Virginia will help him put aside the horrors he reported. Instead he finds Melanie, his mentor's sister, who is institutionalized with a mysterious amnesia after her husband and son were killed five weeks earlier by a freak force of nature. Struck as if by lightning by her beauty, Holden sets out to help her reconstruct her past, and the pair is swept up in a passionate love affair -- one fighting to remember, the other struggling to forget.

With this breakneck story of love and loss, Marianne Wiggins delivers a compelling novel that is a series of powerful metaphors for the curative forces of love as well as her own personal love letter to the American South.

5 out of 5 stars Heavenly!.......2005-06-14

I really enjoyed reading this book and got caught up in the affair between Melanie and Holden. I loved the metophoric referances to the weather and love and the way that the characters are so realistic.
This is my second Marianne Wiggins book as I read Eveless Eden first. People who want to read this book should read Eveless Eden first because it has the same characters and explains things that are not explained in this book.
I'm really impressed by this and she is fast becoming my favourite author.

5 out of 5 stars Postmodern with Emotion.......2004-08-22

Marianne Wiggins writes an impressionistic, poetic and heart-breaking story. Her descriptions of emotions are wide and deep and revelatory. She weaves the numbing experience of the loss of self in war and the distressingly innocent, blank experience of amnesia. What is memory? What is feeling? Can we recover our memory without mourning its loss?
If you give yourself to the depths of this book, without demanding a conventional "story" (although there is a plot) you will experience depths that turn over your heart.

1 out of 5 stars The worst book club selection EVER.......2003-02-22

This was our February book club selection. The consensus was that this was the worst book that we had ever read. Some members couldn't even finish it. Reading it resulted in a 10 minute discussion on how we've never hated a book worse. Horrible plot, story, and characters. The main character Holden is dispicable and abusive. The book concludes at the climax, with absolutely no resolution.

3 out of 5 stars Incomplete.......2002-12-15

The language is beautiful and the story engrossing, but it doesn't have a conclusion. It was like seeing only acts 1+2 of a three act play. I don't want to spoil the book, so I'll only say that there's an impending doom in the story, at the heart of the story really. The book ends when the doom strikes rather than coninue and show the ramifications of the doom and other actions in the book.
Another analogy would be a disaster movie that ended as soon as the disaster hit. That's not a satisfying story because we want to see how people deal with the disaster and, in this book, we don't get to.

4 out of 5 stars griping writing of war, lose, inner life.......2000-08-24

I thoroughly enjoyed the language Marianne Wiggins used throughout her book, especially the scenes when Holden is explaining what he saw and how he reacted in Bosnia. As an ex-patriot American who just returned from "home," I thought he captured those feelings right on. Europeans never quite understand the American weather in the summer and could learn a lot with Wiggins' descriptions of the way American heat skies can get. I became somewhat bogged down in the implausibility of the trek West, despite the lush sex scenes, but was WOWED by the ending! Personally, how well a writer pulls off an ending is one of my gauges for success. Wiggins sure caught me there. One of the reviews in my book jacket tells of re-reading the book almost immediately. I can understand that.

Book Description

Small-town blessings

Nursing a broken heart and wounded spirit, Kendra McKaslin vowed to make a fresh start-alone. But then everything changed when handsome sheriff Cameron Durango showed up at her run-down riding stable to give her some much-needed business. Seeing this honorable lawman again brought all those locked-away memories flooding back. For he alone knew the secret of her past relationship-and she'd always cherish his exquisite kindness during that night when things had gone terribly wrong. Now, as Cameron gathered her in his string, sheltering arms to offer her love and comfort, the irresistibly charmed small-town girl wondered if having him here was a sign from heaven. Could all of her dreamsfinallybe coming true?

5 out of 5 stars A book that you can't miss.......2005-09-10

I loved this book! Jillian Heart is an awsome author. This book is one of the sweetest stories I have ever read. And a must read for anyone who believes that true love is real.

4 out of 5 stars Kendra's heart was broken beyond repair.......2004-08-02

Kendra McKaslin had been in love before, and all it had brought her was heartache and pain. She'd moved on with her life and tried to put those dark memories behind her, but they still haunted her from time to time, like when she looked up into the handsome face of Sherrif Cameron Durango. Cameron had seen her when she was at her weakest, and she didn't want to be reminded of that. Still, Cameron was hanging around her stables pretty frequently since he wanted a horse, and Kendra had to be nice to her customers...

Despite Kendra's gruff exterior, Cameron knew there was a heart beneath begging to be loved. He'd seen one of the worst moments of her life, but had managed to help her through it. Cameron had lived with his share of pain, having lost his beloved wife to cancer four years ago, but he wanted to move on with his life, and he thought he could do that with Kendra if she'd give him a chance. He'd do all in his power to show her that not all men were the same, and that he'd be willing to stand by her and protect her for a lifetime.

I initially connected with Kendra more than Cameron, since I'd been in a similar situation to Kendra. Kendra was going through a lot of hurt, and being around Cameron only brought the wounds to the surface. About halfway through the book, however, I began to identify more with Cameron. He was such a good guy, and Kendra treated him very shabbily, yet he continued to try and win her heart. He was one of those men you read about but never meet in person ;) Anyway, Cameron was about perfect. He was loving, patient, considerate, and protective (but not overwhelmingly so).

Kendra's past comes to the reader bit by bit, but is confusing because there is never a point in the story where the author puts all those bits together. I mean, I figured out the gist of what happened to her, but it was never very clear. That is my only complaint (aside from Kendra's behavior, which is fairly understandable, however) with the book. The book really flowed and was an interesting read. I'd recommend it to any fans of romantic Christian fiction.
