In 'Move Over Madeline Island', beauty salon owner, Eve, and one of her long-term clients, Ruby, take the plunge and move into a dilapidated cottage way up north at the lake. If life is what you make of it, Eve and Ruby are bound and determined to make it fabulous.
This book is as charming, good-humored, and refreshing as its delightful cover! The female relatives I have passed it on to have all enjoyed it and actually purchased their own copies to keep - it is a treasure. If you prefer to read materials that are positive, diverting, sweet, humorous, intriguing, non-violent, this is your read! Great female characters - this should really be a movie!
A Breath of Fresh Air!

Review of Moon over Madeline Island
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is a lot of fun and one of the more upbeat books I have read in some time. We need more upbeat in this era when sad, morose heart-rending stories are all the rage.
great read!

If you are looking for a book to get lost in and make the time fly by, here is one of the best. Somehow Gilbertson manages to bring the reader into a reality that is filled with a deep and easy friendship between two happy and strong, yet believably complex women, and into a risk taking adventure that you wish was your own to live. All the while convincing you that this much happiness is something that is all over the place. Eve and Ruby are not all sweetness and light, but neither are they hindered by angst or ill will. A huge treasure of a home, with secret passageways and many dusty and interesting rooms on Madeline Island, has fallen into their laps. The adventure goes on, always in the company of a family of choice where deep tolerance, humor and risk taking are the way people live their lives. The book is like a fulfilled dream. Highly recommended for a great time. Clever and fast paced.
