Alec came to a bed-and-breakfast in North Wales to fulfill his ex-wife's final wish. She wanted her ashes scattered at the top of Cadair Idris, a mountain near Dolgellau. Fionna managed the B&B while her ailing husband ran their family farm with lambs in the pasture. Alec and Fionna were both surprised at their instant connection, but obligations stood in their way. Both Alec and Fionna had been through recent painful experiences, and have nurturing, caring personalities. Love and passion war wi...

Okay, here is a book that I bought for the cover...the lovely, utterly British cover, complete with wellies, flowers, and a red door. When I started this book, however, it seemed very much like one of those Good Housekeeping stories that I would occasionally read when there was nothing else lying around...a long time ago. But excellent characterizations, sympathetic characters, and good writing changed my mind before too long.Without going into a lot of detail, the story revolves around Alec, wh...
This is one of those books that just grabbed me from the first chapter and didn't let go till I finished it in one sitting. It was a little bit like Nicholas Sparks' books, but I enjoyed the setting so much more. Mountain climbing in Wales is just something I'd like to do so this appealed to me, as did the theme of "coming home". I know I'll be thinking of this sweet story a lot in the days to come. Alec and Fiona's love story was a good one.
This is the second book I've read by this author and I'm still impressed! He writes well. Some have said the book is simple....that's hard to pull off, especially with the overarching themes of love lost and found, the insight that we are not in control of life, and the obligations of commitment. What is the highest calling of life? Patience, feelings, and what is worth waiting for, are all intertwined in the themes. A lot to think about. His prose is a lot smoother than this review. He knows hi...
The certainty of love doesn’t always arrive to hearts eagerly waiting. Whether rising out of the dust cloud kicked up by an old pick-up truck on a back road in Iowa or flashing by a window in a brief glimpse of backpack, the heart knows when love has arrived—uninvited perhaps, a bit unexpected—but nevertheless its arrival cannot be denied. So we find Fiona Edwards, a woman used to welcoming the unknown into her bed and breakfast, on the morning that will change her life.The Long Walk Home by Wil...
Pretty good book. Will look to see if there us a second book.
I ordinarily don't read romance novels because I am a jaded old cynic at heart. Yet, the premise of "The Long Walk Home" intrigued me, especially since the protagonists are near middle age (which promises a mature, experienced, approach to that thing called Love - at least in my mind). So, I set my jadedness aside and began reading."The Long Walk Home" is a beautiful story that kept me turning the pages. The characters were very well developed and, because of that, I cared deeply for them and wh...
Buddy-read with Joan. Join us if you would like, it is a freebie.DNF chapter 11 At every party, there are always people who try to look smarter than they really are by over-explaining things or expounding life lessons because they just read a meaningful book. I usually want to punch them in the face for sounding like inspirational posters. This book reminded me of those pretentious people. First, let me start with what I liked. Both characters are older (Fiona is in her forties and Alec is 50).
Mr. North invites the reader to love found, love lost, and the commitment of relationships. As treacherous as his walk up the mountain he has created characters who struggle with emotions which unexpectedly have entered their lives. Detailed research into the geography of Wales, sheep farming, garden to table cooking keeps the reader turning the pages. The ending is predictable but perhaps it was only my prediction that wished for the book to end as beautifully as it did. He has placed his words...
