Billie's Kiss
|
| | | In the tradition of "Drowning Ruth" and "The Dress Lodger" comes a beautifully written, darkly romantic mystery set in the stark landscape of the Scottish islands at the beginning of the 20th century.
Annotation:
In 1903, urchin Billie Paxton is one of the only survivors of a horrific maritime accident that occurs off the shore of a remote Scottish island. She's taken in by the island's strange, rich owner, Lord Hallowhulme, who has his own reasons for wanting to unravel the truth behind the accident. At Hollowhulme's castle, Billie soon finds herself in the midst of a mystery rich in Gothic trappings.

"Knox's wild and wooly fictions aren't for everybody, but if minimalism doesn't satisfy your appetite for narrative, she may just be the writer for you." 01/01/2002Washington Post Book World
"[M]any historical novel fans...will find BILLIE'S KISS a successful execution of the genre. Knox makes restrained but effective use of her book's time period....On the other hand, those who mistrust the historical romance may not be completely seduced by Knox's novel. Like most fiction in the genre, it feels contrived at points, especially the dialogue....BILLIE'S KISS has its share of the predictable. But Knox's writing and imagination are promising, and fans of literature--as well as of period romance--should watch closely to see how her novels evolve." - Liza Featherstone 03/24/2002 |
