An epic story set on the West Coast of Ireland, The Cross Of Santiago is full of historical intrigue, parallel lives, and undying love.
Four Boundless Stars
Honestly, this book got off to a bit of a slow start, but it picked up quickly and I am glad I got to review it. This book follows Amanda, a young woman who was orphaned as a child and hasn't yet set a good future path for herself. She finds herself in possession of a very unique medallion that brings about many changes in her life. She soons finds herself on a new path. A path filled with history and intrigue. This book had a lot of mystery. I was adopted and so I can relate to Amanda as a character. She wants to know about her past, about her birth family, and her family's history. I have been there and so this book was a good read for me because I could REALLY relate to her. I think books that the reader can relate too are the best kind. They help you feel that the story is more REAL, rather than it just being a story that is being read. It's filled with history, there are so many mysteries from a time long past. I absolutely love history and so this book was a great read if you love history.
