A Wild Yearning Penelope Williamson 9780440614180 Books

I am a voracious reader and I normally disdain historical romance, but despite all that A Wild Yearning is my favorite book.
I reread it every few years as a special treat and never grow tired of it.
Penelope Williamson did her research and the book shows it.
Delia is the feistiest and most caring character I have ever encountered between the pages of any tome.
Ty, the man she loves is a tortured soul who is afraid to love, but I was rooting for them from the get go. It was obvious why he was frightened and when his feelings come to the forefront it is a beautiful thing to see
The secondary characters add a lot to the story and the author weaves then through the book with her writers pen and brings A Wild Yearning to a dimension I have never seen in any other book, no matter what the genre.
I am looking for my third copy because mine is falling apart and yellowing from age.
If you are looking for a book that will transport you to another time and place, and characters that are so real you think they will walk through your front door.......
If you are looking for a book to make you cry and laugh and rejoice and leave you elated when you're done......then read this book.

A Wild Yearning Penelope Williamson 9780440614180 Books Reviews

PENELEOPE WILLIAMSON IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS
I HAVE READ ALL OF HER BOOKS AND HAVE JUST ORDERED
SOME OLD ONES TO READ AGAIN. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE
IS ONCE IN A BLUE MOON
I had already read this a couple of times, but I bought another copy so that I could read it again. Penelope Williamson weaves a great plot, and her characters have depth.
I just finished A wild yearning and I must say that I enjoyed it. It was a little slow to start for me, but once it got rolling, there was non-stop action and plenty to keep a smile on my face. I did not like Ty, the male lead character too much because from the beginning he was nothing but a selfish, me me me character that didn't know what the heck he really wanted but by the end I had warmed to him considerably, and the two girls touched my heart. I have been reading this author for years and she has never dissappointd me. Give it a try!

They don't write them like this anymore... I'm a huge fan of books that take a while to get to the HEA. This story did not disappoint. My only complaint is i wish it was available for .
This is my first sample of a book by this author and I am blown away by the depth of the story she's written. The story moves along well and there are few paragraphs devoted to the inner dialogue of the heroine or hero. I really hate to see page after page of "thoughts". This story is compelling and I highly recommend it to those who are looking for stories of more substance. The attraction between the hero and heroine is stoked throughout the unfolding events. The heroine is persevering in the face of many difficulties and there is a happily ever after.
I should have known from the cover art what the pages held. It's written well enough, just not my genre. Heaving breasts and swollen breeches can carry a story only so far. Suited to a 16 year old, not a 60 year old.
Penelope Williamson's historicals do not disappoint. This RITA Award winner is another one I couldn't put down and you won't go wrong getting it.

Set in the wilderness of "the Maine" in the 1720's, decades prior to the French and Indian War, it tells of life on the frontier where Indian raids were frequent and the settlers faced great obstacles as they struggled to carve out a life from the rugged land. This is the story of Delia, a beautiful and courageous young girl of 17 who had a loving family in Boston until her mother died and her father became a drunk and began beating her. She worked in a tavern since she was 14, but unlike the other women, she was still a virgin. When she's given the chance to escape her miserable life and become respectable, she takes it and answers the ad placed by Dr. Tyler Savitch for a wife needed for a man in the settlement of Merrymeeting who had lost his wife to sickness and has two little girls to raise. When she meets Ty, she instantly begins to fall in love with him, initially believing him to be the man who is seeking a wife. But when she learns it is another man who Ty represents who is seeking a wife, she still decides to go just to be near Ty--and because she has nothing to lose. Ty is an unusual man. When he was 6 his father was killed and his mother and he were taken captive by Indians and raised as a chief's son until he was 16 when he was sent back to live with his grandfather who taught him the white man's ways and sent him to Edinburgh to be educated. He is a tortured soul, divided between two worlds and unsure if he can love, or if he would want to risk the loss loving would mean.

Williamson paints a vivid picture of life in the wilderness with rich characters and descriptions of the places and nature. She presents a balanced approach to the Indian-white man issues of the time. I learned much from reading this yet I did not feel instructed. I loved this story and believe you will, too.
