Criticize Of Books The Passions of Emma

This book hurt. People called it marvelous. They called it the book of second chances.I call it the book of second best.Sure, it was written beautifully.But from the start I knew where it will go, so all the sly little glances Shay gave Emma or all the thoughts of love Emma had? I never saw them as obscene, but they bugged me. They were sweet on one side but on the other almost every time Shay just went in to the next scene, picked up his wife, and twirled her around because it made her happy or

I just finished this book and am so glad I picked this one up, though knowing nothing about the author. I thoroughly enjoyed EVERYTHING about this book. The writing, the plot, the characters, the setting. Everything!The characters are fully fleshed and real. The plot is one that sucks you in and makes you care. The writing is smooth and compelling. I dived into this not sure what it would yield and was soon so immersed in the developing saga that I lost track of time and place while I read.I was

This was not my usual choice of books but it was lent to me so I figured, why not? I'm glad I gave this book a chance-Emma's emotions as she struggled against what was expected of her in 1800s Rhode Island society captivated me. This was a fantastic example of historical romance.

This book left me with so many emotions. I give this book four stars because it started off pretty slow but after you get to know Emma,Bria and Shay you truly get to know the heart and soul of this story. I truly enjoyed this amazing journey of true friendship and love and when I say love I mean a true love story. This is not your typical romance love story...

My heart broke reading this book. I knew how it would end, but it took so much to get there. I loved all the characters, and could vidily picture them in my mind. Great writing and descriptive work. I would read this one again.

Re-read for a f2f discussion. First read around time of publication (circa 1998). Reason for club selection was Rhode Island setting. While this was basically an historical romance it was better written than most and brought up many issues such as women's place, social prejudice re immigrants, child labor and conditions in textile mills in 1890s Bristol. The descriptions of the setting were spot-on and I could easily visualize the places mentioned. Author's The Outsider was more romantic but

This book made me cry and I read it yearly.
