Under the Same Sky (MacDonnell)

by Genevieve Graham

"The year is 1746. A young woman from South Carolina and a Scottish Highlander share an intimacy and devotion beyond their understanding. They have known each other their entire lives. And yet they have never met... Maggie Johnson has been gifted with "the Sight" ever since she was a child. Her dreams bring her visions of the future and of a presence she knows is real. She calls him Wolf, and has seen him grow alongside her from a careless young boy into a fearsome warrior. And when her life is torn asunder by unspeakable tragedy, he is her only hope. Andrew MacDonnell is entranced by the vision of a beautiful woman who has always dwelt in his dreams. When war ravages his land and all he has ever known, he leaves the Scottish Highlands on a perilous journey to the New World to find her... Their quest to find each other across a treacherous wilderness will test the limits of courage and endurance, guided only by their dreams--and by the belief in the true love they share.."--

Really a 4.5. An awesome historical. CANNOT wait to read the next one. :)

Why I Picked It Up: I read the book description when the author got in touch with me and I was hooked. I couldn’t wait to read it.

What I Lurved: Oh my goodness! It’s more like what’s not to love? Graham does such a wonderful job describing the settings and events in Under the Same Sky! I could vividly see everything Graham was describing. As soon as I started reading it, I could not put it down. Andrew and Maggie (our hero and heroine) have been able to communicate telepathically for as long as they can remember even though they have never met. This really added to the book and helped develop the relationship. The Cherokee play a large role in Under the Same Sky and I really enjoyed the detail about their lives and beliefs. Genevieve Graham includes such beautiful detail that I had no trouble imagining any part of the book.

What I Could Have Lived Without: This really isn’t a complaint but Andrew and Maggie each have some pretty traumatic stuff happen during the book. This definitely added to the book but it made me hurt for the characters.

Recommended For: Anyone who enjoys historical fiction. If you enjoyed the historical aspects and detail in Outlander, you’ll enjoy Under the Same Sky. Make sure you don’t miss this one.
Avoid If: You enjoy a romance where the hero and heroine are together most of the book.
