Just great as ever Lesley
I love Lesley Pearse, I think she is one of the best writers for ages. Her books always just sweep me along and this one is no exception.

Beth and her brother Sam loose both Mother and Father and are left with a half sister to look after. After finding refuge in a nice kind household they decide to go away to America to make their fortune. Needless to say it is not as easy for them as that and along with two friends they embark on an adventure to find themselves and their fortune.

I was reading away one evening and I suddenly realised that I was over half way through the book and I was so disappointed, every single one of Lesley books has had me enthralled, with a need to know what is going to happen. They are so easy to read and they flow with such ease you cannot help but enjoy every page. Gypsie is no exception.

Better and better!
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this, Lesley Pearse's latest novel, having read and thoroughly enjoyed all of her other titles. The only disappointment was that I read the book so quickly!!!

As ever, Lesley Pearse has researched the setting for this book extremely well. Set in the Gold rush era at the end of the 19th century, all of the characters are well depicted, and I could almost imagine myself enduring the cold, harsh conditions of the Canadian winter.

It never ceases to amaze me just how varied Lesley Pearse's books are, but one thing can be guaranteed - they're always an excellent read.

I'm now looking forward to the next one ........

Fantastic Read!
I love all of Lesley Pearse's books and this has to now be one of my favourites. She writes so well, you can almost picture yourself there!
