After reading the above blurb about the book, I was excited to dive in. Oh yes, this seemed to fit neatly into my preferred genre! I couldnt tell if it was going to be more romance-ish or historical-fiction-y, but I figured either way I was set.Imagine my surprise, then, when I really found myself struggling to get into this book. Eva Ibbotsons writing style is flowy I picked out one sentence that were so long, being packed with five or six wordy dependent clauses, that it literally was its ownI really liked this book, and the main character reminded me of my friend Julia from college. It's about a girl, Ruth, whose father is the dean of paleontology at a Viennese University. At the start of Hitler's reign, he is replaced with a non-Jew and his family flees to England. However, Ruth is sent ahead on a student visa and doesn't make it across the border because she has already been caught at political rallies and has been red flagged. She waits until her family leaves and then returns
A beautiful romance full of love and family. While Ruth felt a little young to me, I had to remind myself that this was the 1930's and young ladies didn't grow up as fast as they do today. Society was different. And the ten year age gap between her and Quin, while not a problem, I did find myself ageing him down a little. But it was obvious from the start these two were soulmates, which makes some of the things they do very frustrating, particularly in the last act. Grrr, just talk to him.Heini
Having now waded through the bulk of this author's novels, I have detected a worrying trend. All of Ibbotson's heroines have maintained a virtuous purity that stays with them until the relationship they inevitably pursue with the hero. On the other hand, her heroes, whether it is directly stated or subtly implied, have more than a few notches on the bedpost if you catch my drift. Now, I by no means want to suggest I feel the answer to the neverending question of gender inequality is for women to
I am in love. I loved all the characters. I loved Ibbostons style of writing. I loved the story (though highly predictable I did not even care as all I wanted to happen finally happened). Reading The Morning Gift was similar to drinking a delicious and indulgent hot chocolate. As you slurp it down in one sitting it warms you from the inside and leaves you feeling satisfied (if not a little tiny bit sick - as I dont usually read romances and happy endings almost seem mythological). Ruth was my

Another charming read from Ibbotson. I know I keep using "charming" to describe her works, but I'm not sure how else to put it. They're fun, old fashioned, sweet, funny, and altogether delightful: they're charming.I found myself skimming in this one a little bit, something I didn't do with any of the other Ibbotson books I've read, which I'm attributing to having read four of her books in the span of about three months. Her writing style and themes are consistent enough that I had some deja vu
