LADY SARAH"S SON Gayle Wilson 9780263827446 Books Reviews
Gayle Wilson has done it again -- great story!
Loved the emotional and mental growth of Lady Sarah in the four years that she takes sole care of her "child" not to mention her father.
Justin Tolbert, the new Earl of Wynfield, has nothing but debts and a wounded body to offer anyone. His greatest fear, would Lady Sarah be tolerant of his being less of a man? It takes the child, Andrew to soften up Justin's emotions that he can tolerate a marriage of convenience. But the worst fear happens as he realizes he has not lost his love for Sarah over the past four years.
The threat from the natural father of Andrew really ties up the story -- and what a way to end -- couldn't help but grin.
Cant't help it -------- but dahh! N.Y, something tells me that you have no understanding of the emotions or morality of the regency period. They didn't think like the general public of this day and age.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- a story that should be enjoyed by all.
Lady Sara's Son was your typical plot of a good girl lead astray by a fortune hunter and abandoned on the road after she gives birth to their illegitimate child and dies. Older sister appear just in time to make the old death bed oath of never revealing the paternity of the baby. We all know that this is an oath that will come back to haunt the h the entire book. But what lifts this story above the norm is the writing of GW. We are given an H to die for that had his hopes and dreams shattered by the h and war which left him disabled. It is up to him to right all wrongs and provide the father figure a little boy desperately needs while trying to save his estate from financial ruin by marrying the wealthy h. Gayle Wilson is one of the few writers that can truly portray a wounded hero in body and mind. She takes you into the H head and you experience his doubts and fears as he struggles to adjust to new limitations placed on his body due to injuries he suffered in battle. At times our h was a little too naive and self sacrificing but again GW writing saves the day. We feel the h desperation and torn loyalty to a dead sister and the man she truly loves. I'm not a fan of death bed oaths that can hurt the living or a 5yr old that speaks well beyond their years, but in this case I was so drawn into the story I forgave the author.
For the most part Gayle Wilson is generally an author I enjoy, but sadly in LADY SARA'S SON, Ms. Wilson conked out.
Mini Synopsis
Ireland 1809, Lady Sarah (daughter of a marquess) vowed to her sister, on their dear mother's grave, she would never, never tell anyone that her little sister had given birth to an illegitimate baby. And she promised she would always take care of baby Andrew. Of course, upon Sarah's return to England, society believes the worse and thinks little Drew is hers. With her reputation in shreds, Sarah remorsefully sends a "Dear John" letter to her beloved fiancé, Justin, who is serving on the Iberian Peninsula.
England 1813, regretfully Colonel Justin Tolbert is the new Earl of Wynfield and his deceased father and brother have scandalously ruined the title and the inheritance. For years, Justin cherished his dream of returning to England, but now his homecoming is agony. He doesn't know what is worse -- the sympathy regarding his financially ruined lands or the pity surrounding his crippled presence. And it seems the effects of war also have a far-reaching implication on Justin Tolbert's life. He has returned to England wielding an artificial foot.
Life's cruelties have changed both Justin and Sarah. Sarah knows Andrew needs a father figure and Justin needs her money, so a bargain is secured. Justin and Sarah wed. Happily-ever-after? Hardly! That sacred vow and war savagery stand in the way of a smooth friendship. Nevertheless, life moves on -- Andrew has his father figure, Justin has his money, and Sarah has disappointment. And to make matters worse, Andrew's real father is now making parental threats.
Reviewer's Comments
When I saw all those 5 star reviews, I couldn't believe it. Did I miss something? Maybe! My criticism? Pesky flaws! (1) - Sarah's pledge to keep Drew's true parenthood a secret IS disastrously overplayed! Overplayed to the point of being stupid! (2) - the threat the daughter of a marquess and an English earl feel from an Irishman is exaggerated. Early 1800's England - would an Irishman have legal rights in an English court against the combined efforts of an English marquess and an earl? If my history lessons serve me correctly - probably not! (3) - the level of maturity little four-year Drew expresses is totally unbelievable. Like I said, I felt Gayle Wilson conked out on this one!
