“Across the Blue” ~ Book Review...

Feb 26, 2018 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Carrie Turansky’s newest release,  Across the Blue.    As is my custom, if I could ask Carrie one question about Across the Blue it would be — “What inspired the aviation theme?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, onto Rachel’s Back Talk!

This was my first book that I read of Carrie’s and it was even more enjoyable after meeting Carrie in person!   As is my custom, if I could ask Carrie one question about The Governess of Highland Hall, it would be — “Why did you decide to write a book with a Downton Abbey/Jane Eyre feel to it?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, onto Rachel’s Back Talk!
