Ride The Wind

I loved this book. Robson did a wonderful job of telling this story. I fell in love with Wanderer, Naduah, their children, her Indain family & friends. I learned things I didn't know.

My favourite of the various books that Ms. Robson has written. Don't be fooled by the cover -- this is not a romance novel by any means. It's smart, intelligent and based around a real story -- that of Cynthia Ann Parker.......more

I'm a big book loaner. Every time I read something I loved, my first impulse is to give it to someone else immediately, "here, read this!". And a lot of times, I never get that book back. If I really loved it, I go and buy it again, so I still have a copy. Consequently, I have owned 7 copies of this......more
