Description In Favor Of Books Julia's Story (The Quantock Quartet #3)

Four independent-minded sisters come of age in the early 1900s - and four interwoven novels tell their stories, each through a different sister's eyes.
The year is 1910, and the four Purcell sisters have only each other. Their mother has died, leaving them orphans in a rambling country estate. But with the help of the Mackenzies - their guardian and his family, whom the sisters come to love in very different ways - Sarah, Frances, Julia, and Gwen find the courage to follow their own paths in a world that is rapidly changing.
Avid readers and fans of historical-fiction classics will love these spirited heroines - named "the Little Women of our times" by the TIMES of London - and will be thoroughly absorbed by their intertwining tales, full of feistiness, creativity, and young romance.

The Dividing Sea (Book Three) is Julia's story. It tells of her eventful time as a volunteer nurse in France during the Great War and her ill-started love story with Geoffrey Mackenzie.

Write-Up Based On Books Julia's Story (The Quantock Quartet #3)

4 and 1/2 starsJULIA'S STORY is a touching book that explores some of the deeper issues of living through World War I. I also got caught up in Julia's emotions as second-oldest of the four orphaned sisters. Maybe because her character is somewhat reserved and reluctant, I found myself rooting for Julia. She seemed to need encouragement and reassurance along the way, in her process of understanding her artistic gifts, developing a love relationship, and finding lasting happiness.

The Quantock Quartet has got to be one of my favourite series, but I think this one will be my least favourite.While I loved it, there were certain things I couldn't help resenting. I didn't like the way Julia thought of her sisters, for instants, and I thought she was a little dull as a character. Especially towards the end. But even then, there was something I still liked about her. The final chapter was so dissatisfying! I think it was meant to be a happy ending, but all I could think of was

This is still my favourite of the four books. The story set in France with Julia working as a nurse during WW1 is really interesting. I would have liked even more background between Geoffrey and Julia and I definitely found his death more sad this time. I also felt I understood Julia more.

Ruth Elwin Harris says that her historic quartet of novels, THE SISTERS OF THE QUANTOCK HILLS, had its beginnings while she was growing up during World War II. To escape the wartime bombing, she and her brother were sent to live with their grandfather in rural Somerset, England. His house and garden became the model for Hillcrest, the Purcell sisters' family home in the four-part series. AnotherThis book is #3 out of 4 stories of each Purcell sister. I was introducedfirst to story #1 Sarah through a book club. I enjoyed that book, butreally wanted to learn more about Julia. So I got my hands on a copy ofJulias Story.I actually stayed up all night finishing it. I just couldnt put it down.This book moved me in a way that doesnt happen too often. Julia is afascinating character who experienced some extremely tragic events andmanaged to slowly work through them. Despite these events,

This series is surprisingly well written, when I came home with the books I had a sinking feeling I would be returning all four after the first chapter. Not by a long shot. Each one gets better. spoiler............I had held out a hope that since there was never a body recovered that Geoffrey would somehow turn up. A victim of amnesia? An AWOL soldier to ashamed to come home. Even in the end when Canada was brought up I thought she would go and find him there.

This book is #3 out of 4 stories of each Purcell sister. I was introducedfirst to story #1 Sarah through a book club. I enjoyed that book, butreally wanted to learn more about Julia.

The next installment is a good one. Looking forward to reading number 4
