As always, Ramsay's prose is vivid and flowing, and the pages just fly by * Choice *
The Farm Girl's Dream is a sweeping saga - there's tragedy, struggle, family, rags to riches, a villain and romance. But it's the sense of hope and accomplishment which make these books so appealing and this one definitely hits the spot. I really enjoyed getting lost in this book for a few hours, and ended with a huge smile on my face and feeling of contentment. Lovely, feel good comfort reading well worth a read. * Cosy Books *
It was so easy to be swept up in this engaging and delightful story. It isn't all light hearted and there is a depth to the story that made for compelling reading. * Rae Reads *
