Frances' Story (Sisters of the Quantock Hills, Book Two)

This was the best book and i truly enjoyed all of the books from the entire quartet. It has a lot of romance and changling human attitudes. Everyones persepective of each other changes through their growing up throughout the book.

The Quantock Quartet are some of the best books I have read, historical fiction or otherwise. This novel is the only one I felt rated below a five because parts of it just dragged. Frances was the only sister I couldn't feel some sort of connection with. She came across so obstinate in parts you just wanted to set down the book and seethe at her actions. The series, however, wouldn't be the same without this installment, and all in all, it was good. "Sarah's Story" basically told you what was happening to the Purcells, and gave Sarah's perspective on the romance between her oldest sister and Gabriel. In "Frances' Story", we learn what really went on, the things Sarah had no way of knowing about. We also learn that maybe Frances *didn't* have it together all the time, despite her actions. This story covers a bit after "Sarah's Story" ended...you won't expect the twist at the end. If you like historical fiction (with a bit of romance) I highly recommend the Quantock Quartet.

this was a TERRIFIC book, i really lOvEd iT, tHiS wAs A tErRiFiC bOoK! i really loved the romance that went on between frances and GaBrIeL, more than once in this book i thought that i was frances, i could feel her pain and her riumphs and after i read this book those feelings were so strong that i decided that i really loved art and because of this book i have become the fastest working artist in my integragreted art class, i have JUST finished working on a finger piano and clay drum, this semester we are begins work with different types of fabrics! i definitley recomend this book if you are; a Sk8Er looking for a change from too deep books or if you are a frustrated artist and need a break(this goes for poets and writers as well), if you are a a teenager adn if you are a girl and that included more than half ofd this poplulation! i loooved this book and you will too!Sk8eRs HoNoR!

Frances' Story is really, really good. At the beginning of the book Frances, 16 years old, takes charge when her mother dies. She is a wonderful painter and a good sister. This book takes you through the life of a person during WW1 and you will never want to put this book down.

After reading Sarah's Story I was interested in the character, Frances. This book is fabulous not only do lots of really fascinating things happen to her (going to Art School, being an artist etc.), but the fabulous love story of Frances and Gabriel really comes into focus.
