A wonderful book

This is one of my favorite books by D.E. Stevenson, which is understandable, as it was the last she wrote, and she seems to have gotten better and better. I really like knowing what happened to characters from The Enchanted Isle (Blow the Wind Southerly), Gerald and Elizabeth, and (indirectly) Katherine Wentworth and Katherine's Marriage, all of which are among my other favorites by Stevenson. I thought at first a very unlikeable character in this was a villain from Katherine Wentworth, but not so. Apparently, Stevenson disliked this male name and used it for two separate unlikeable characters.

Sequel to Gerald and Elizabeth

This book features the main character in Gerald and Elizabeth. Now that his sister is happily married, Gerald has a little more leisure time. But his new job working for his brother-in-law is anything but soft, and he must confront industrial espionage. Between fighting off villains and falling in love, he does a little deer hunting too. Sometimes her endings are a little abrupt, and I felt this was one of those times, but still very enjoyable. CMB
