Worse, she suspects she might be falling in love again… With a man who died almost a hundred years ago.
I really can’t tell you much more about The Glass Guardian, besides whatĀ you’ve just read in the above book blurb,Ā without giving away too much of the story & possibly ruining it for anyone who may want to read it. Honestly, if you want toĀ know more, then read The Glass Guardian (or I suppose you could search out other reviews on other sites) – you’ll be glad that you did!
Linda GillardĀ has aĀ knack of writing characters you really want to spend time with – characters you could easily see becoming your friends – characters so vivid and flawed – so real. And that is not to mention theĀ talent she has of painting these wonderful pictures of the scenery where she has placed her characters & The Glass Guardian is no exception. I think Linda’s descriptions of the surroundings are the main reason I love her books. She draws you in, making you feel almost as though you are an observer in the locations where her stories are taking place, watching first hand as the action unfolds. One of the other great things about Linda’s books is that, unlike a lot of other authors I have read, her books certainly don’t follow a formula! Each book is different, with a different style & different feel and a different societal challenge. Oh yea, there is one thing that they all have in common, besides being really well written – they all have very lovely men!
Seriously, I appreciate that a ghost story/romance isn’t for everyone, but The Glass Guardian really is a good book – well written as usual & one I would not hesitate in recommending. (Along with all of Gillard’s other books)
