    He was only supposed to be gone three days More than just a romance novel than just a mystery novel than just what could equally be described as a coming of age novel and not that anything is remotely wrong with these genres Anna Celeste Burke s A Foot above Ground poses, via a tragic event, one of the most fundamental questions pertaining to philosophical thought in the 20th 21st century where do we turn for comfort consolation in our hour of need, when having turned our backs on religion And [...]

    I read Love a Foot Above the Ground right after having finished A Dead Sister , from the Jessica Huntington mystery series Well, I have to say that it was a bit weird to me to see Jessica immersed in a romance kind of story rather than a mystery one, yet the book flew well without making me stop reading The story is basically narrated by Jessica and Bernadette, the real main character, in the 80, however it s set in the 60 It was intriguing for me to come across betrayals, jealousy and family ma [...]

    Where do I start on this one For starters, the title spoke to me so I grabbed it This is a beautiful love story told to Jessica Huntington by Bernadette the housekeeper about her own life with Guillermo The story was set in the 1960 s, told to Jessica in the 1980 s and then crafted into this story The author did a superb job writing this book The characters were delightful and I was able to connect immediately, which made the book impossible to put down If you believe in love, please read this b [...]

    This is a charming, warm story of the love between the 2 main characters Bernadette Guillermo It s about not only love trust, but also about gossip, jealousy, family dynamics both good bad, and ultimately betrayal I fell in love with both of the main characters It was fun to watch Bernadette grow be exposed to new ideas, to new technology, to new land cultures America One of my favorite quotes is one of those timeless moments that might have lasted forever, if we lived in a world without clocks [...]

    This intriguing novel showcases Ms Burke s talent as an author The drama portrayed is rich and detailed I loved the way the plot is narrated by such a young but deeply moving voice Tragedy, heartache, happiness and joy are all blended beautiful in this well crafted novel There won t be a person reading this who doesn t empathize with Bernadette in some way And what a great role model she is too Her intelligence, warmth and humour shine through and are a delight to encounter via the pages of this [...]

    Many reviewers consider this a love story However, love lifts us up, but it can t always keep us soaring a foot above the ground This may sound a little crazy, como una cabra, but all of the best stories start with once upon a time, so listen with your heart so you can hear the whole story This is a story of history, culture, education, faith, family, mystery, and love Enjoy it from whatever reason you choose But, remember to open yourself to the other parts of the story Remember, hasta luego is [...]

    Andrea Stoeckel
    Life goes on, but love lasts forever, Querida Hasta luego is not goodbye This small, slightly strange story is a prequel decades before A Dead Husband is set It is a story of love, change, heartache, hope and redemption and how much one person can change many peoples history It will make you angry, it will make you cry, it will make you laugh, and it might drive you into your own histories to find that love that lasts forever.

    This is a well written historical life lesson about Bernedette, a young girl from a small fishing village in Mexico who falls in love with a rancher Little does she know that the conflicts going on inside Guillermo s family will affect her future The story is rich with Mexican culture and an enjoyable romantic tale I recommend this story and give it 5 stars.
    May Panayi
    I love books that transport me to countries that I have never visited, in this case, Mexico for my virtual travel It is also great to get an insight into real people s native culture Aside from the joy of all that, it was also a story woven with romance, intrigue and colour Yes it was sad, but it said it would be from the outset A very enjoyable read.
