The First Of Margaret Dickinson's Marvellous Trilogy5
(Plough the Furrow, Sow the Seed and Reap the Harvest).

This is definately a book for your holidays. Were you to read it at home the house-work would most certainly be left undone.

Margaret Dickinson creates such a wonderful atmosphere with her writing that you could almost be there. She presents an intricate web of secrets and lies that unravel constantly throughout the three books.

Plough the Furrow is set in rural lincolnshire in the early 1900's and follows the life of Esther Everett. She is a strong willed young woman who will do what ever it takes to make a better life for herself. Her methods are not always well received, especially buy the local women-folk and sometimes, sadly, even those closest to her.

I have recommended this book many times to family and friends as a personal favourite. It is so exceptionally well written that you will almost smell the sea air and feel the heat from the sun at harvest time.

The characters become so real that you feel their pain, and I am not ashamed to say that I was reduced to tears on more than one occasion.

Within a very short time you are drawn into the book and feel compelled to read on. You just have to know what's on the next page and you have to know now!

It has much more to offer than a simple love story. You begin to care about the characters and they are still on your mind long after you have finished reading.

This is probably the most un-put-downable book I have ever read. It's only fault is that it ends!

Don't worry! Buy 'Sow the Seed' and read on!
