The Storm: A page-turning Scottish saga based on true events: 1 (The Storm, 1)

This was based on a true story and I enjoyed reading it.

This is my first book, by this author.The young woman, experienced alot of heartache. Following tragedy.Yet she turned her life around.

Great book. Worth a read

Great story

I have really enjoyed reading this book, it is so excellently written and full of a heartfelt event. The thought of all that suffering and the strength of the fisherman and their families is unimaginable.

Story, very well told.

This story captives you right from the beginning. You can almost taste the salt in the sea air as Elisabeth McNeil describes the small fishing village in the first few pages. Brilliant story. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I haven't read anything by this author before but I was absolutely gripped. I hadn't heard of the story of Eyemouth either, so I need to learn more. A huge storm took the lives of many fishermen from the village and for Rosabelle it was impossible for her to make a new life even though she had a new baby to take care of. We follow her story and that of the other women who were left to fend for themselves. I am looking forward to reading the next in the series to find out what happens to her. Would give it more than five stars if I could.

The best novels have excellent characters at the heart, and The Storm is no exception. These characters are deep, real and keep you turning the pages after you know you should've turned out the light and gone to sleep.The plotline is heartbreaking, but, of course, you knew that from the description. I wasn't aware of this event in history, but -- as the book goes along -- you really see why the town would require generations to overcome such a thing.I'm looking forward to starting the next book tonight.

I really enjoyed this book. Excellent little story with many twists and turns. really transports you back to the period the book is set in. Recommended

One never knows what nature can do but in this case it destroyed life and livelihoods of a whole generation of men. This loss became tragic for those that remained

I enjoyed this book and went on to read the second one in the series. It's a good story about a true event. Worth the reading.

A book that I could scarcely put down. And a great picture of life in that fishing village and its people. I really prefer a good solid ending..
