Summary: Great book, horrible "hero"
Comment: I didn't read the Carr series in order and had to go back to this third book in the series when I got it. It's a great story, but I was disappointed in the "hero." Like many of Carr's heros, Collum Cassvellyn is strong and domineering. (...) Then instead of being reformed by her love, as a lot of Carr's heros are, Collum does some horrible things that are unredeemable. He gets what he deserves in the end, as we see in the next book in the series, Saraband for Two Sisters.

Summary: The third book in a great series by Philippa Carr
Comment: I finally located my own copy of The Witch from the Sea through Amazon.com's bibliofind thereby completing my own collection of Philippa Carr's saga of English history. I initially had had to read a large print library copy to temporarily fill the gap as I read the series. Starting with The Miracle at Saint Bruno's, Philippa Carr wrote a series of books describing the lives of successive generations of young women in one family from the mid 1500s and Oliver Cromwell to the mid 1900s and Winston Churchill. Each book builds on the one which preceeds it. It is much more fun to read than any history text and the reader probably gets and retains more of what life was like in those times. These books are exciting and historically accurate, combining suspense, a little romance, historical detail and interpretation. It is too bad they are no longer in print.

Summary: Any Philippa Carr novel
Comment: I have the complete set of a series of novels by Philippa Carr except the following:
The Lion Triumphant and The Witch From The Sea
This series builds from each book to the next and is linked by the previous women's experiences - if you do not have the previous books, you don't understand the references in the current book(s). I am missing these links from the two above mentioned books.
I strongly recommend reading the entire series - about 17 books - 19 counting the two above.
Any help anyone can give me in locating these books would be appreciated.
