Seldom Come By Reviews

Seldom Come By is a haunting love story set against the windswept coast of Newfoundland.

The story draws you in from the opening lines and takes you on a compelling journey across time and continents, through love, loss, heartache and healing. It is a beautiful and memorable story.

Hooked by the connection to two series I love, the Diana Gabaldon and Sarah Donati ones, I thought I’d try this and …WOW!

It was everything promised and more, had me glued to the kindle for hours, smiling, laughing and crying. I loved Seldom Come By, something so different from what’s often offered in the romance genre. A deep, epic family story spanning generations.

Well written, beautiful, haunting. I need just awhile to let this book settle before I reach for the next, Come What May, but I do know I am in for another treat.

If there is one book to take a risk on this year – make it Seldom Come By. I did, and I have been richly rewarded.

4.5 Stars. I  loved this book even more the second time around!

Historical Fiction is my favorite genre and Seldom Come By did NOT disappoint. I have read many books with events accruing around WWII but not WWI and I knew nothing about Newfoundland before starting.

I loved being able to glean information while wrapped up in this beautifully woven story of family, loss, courage, forgiveness, redemption and love.

I often compare historical fiction novels to how I felt when I read Outlander, Into the Wilderness, and The Bronze Horseman.

When I started Seldom Come By I did not have a lot of time to read. At about 30% , I decided that I was quite possibly doing this book a disservice and decided to set aside more time and immerse myself for awhile. Well, I was right!

I fell in deep with the main characters and really cared about what was happening with them, but also the people around them. It sucked me in, gave me heart palpitations and made me think about them and how to get back to them when I wasn’t reading. THAT was what I was looking for. The last half of the book was beautiful and heartbreaking and romantic.

I liked that this novel wasn’t solely a love story. Seldom Come By also focuses on the Canadian War experiences and the hardships people suffered, as well as the nation. It is about family, forgiveness, and consequences. I found it to be a beautiful read.
