desertcart.com: What the Wind Knows: 9781503904590: Harmon, Amy: Books

Review: 6 stars for Traveling Countess - Spellbinding.....Enchanting....Transporting !! the wind and water know all the earth’s secrets. They’ve seen and heard all that has ever been said or done. And if you listen, they will tell you all the stories and sing every song. The stories of everyone who has ever lived. FABULOUS story from the esteemed coffers of Harmon, excelling in narration, plot and impact. ALL her books are seeped in colourful emotions, she has a piece of her soul invested in each book. But this book goes a step further. Or should I say several steps backwards!! This book's predominant emotion is HEARTACHE. For lost love, for the beloved country, for road back home. It's not just a simple love story between two people who meet like ships passing in the night of different eras, it's a deep connection that a person has with one's soil, roots that tether you to your heritage. “Don’t let the history distract you from the people who lived it,” It's not only historical, it's HISTORIC. Events we read about in yellowed pages are soaked crimson with blood, charred black with soot and disintegrating under water. Set against the backdrop of Irish uprising, the story is about deep love that Anne shares with Eoin, with Thomas. Friendships she shares with Maeve, Mick & Robbie. Her heart pulls her back and fate moves her forward, and somewhere in between is the Lough Gill. I've never had the pleasure of reading such a unique storyline. Not sure I'd ever try it, BUT for Amy Harmon. I trust my reader heart in her hands, assured that she would fill it with love in all its colours. It was the legend of Oisín and Niamh, where time was not flat and linear but layered and interconnected, a circle that retraced its path again and again, generation after generation, sharing the same space if not the same sphere. Harmon's words are wizard's spells, hypnotic and magnetic, once they're imprinted on your brain, you just stand there stupefied and stunned. I could decipher the story but couldnt believe my brain what i was reading, I actually had an out of body experience. My eyes were reading them, dancing on the curves and sharp edges of the alphabets, but they spring alive like a theatre reel in all Technicolor in front of me. The line between the world's blurred, past and present, fact and fiction. Was I living now or then, was I my own ancester,my predecessor, I was a descendant or precursor? Amy can tell you a tale set in 1912 in Ireland, or 1935 Italy or present day America, she makes you BELIEVE in its authenticity. Carefully weaving threads of fact and fiction, the tapestry she creates is colossal and breathtaking. “Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the disheveled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.” I felt my soul swooping over the fog choked Lough, over the bogs, green rolling hills and in Gravagh Glebe. I became Anne Gallagher, a woman lost between parallel worlds, she is losing her beloved grandfather -Eoin Gallagher and a promise made to him, to transport his ashes to Eirèan, his beloved Ireland. His soul has unfinished business, there is somebody waiting for Anne on the other side of time and Lake........he loves her too much, misses her too much and sheds tears for her. “There are some paths that inevitably lead to heartache, some acts that steal men’s souls, leaving them wandering forever after without them, trying to find what they lost,” As Anne steps on Irish Soil, her fate is sealed. The ashes swirling in the Lough grow wispy tendrils of fog so dense, her past and present lose boundaries and Eoin's plan is set into motion I can't even begin to describe what is the context and precis of the story. You wouldn't believe me if I told you, so you must go and read it yourself. The FEELINGS are all IN CAPS. There's NOTHING that won't touch you deeply, each mishap, each danger, each dread, multiplies till it just fills you to the brim. I fell in love, like absorbing, all encompassing, to-die-for love with Ireland. The land, the lore, the legend, the loughs. “Don’t let the history distract you from the people who lived it,” Thomas Smith crept in my heart, softly and slowly. Dignified and diligent, he's all that is good in the world Anne, the one I met, is serene, kind, compassionate. Her soft smile, reticent love, powerful words just stole my breath. How strong is her mettle that despite finding herself misplaced and displaced, she strives to adjust her constitution. Hangs on to Eoin with focused love. Michael, I'd like to have read more as a man, rather than a political figure. Maeve is most sassy and Robbie the ever loyalist. I'm telling you, this book is literally OUT OF THIS WORLD. It took me a while to get into because the beginning is expansive and overwhelming. But as you read on, it's like you get closer to a huge painting. The characters etch out, their colours get more vibrant, the scenes become clearer and when you reach the halfway mark you will what to widen your eyes to take all of it in. Take your time to read. Don't rush it, savour the words, re-read some, let Yeats soak in your senses, join the dots of prose, poems, history and feelings. Now let me be, I want to stand on the shores of Lough Gill, strain to hear the whistling again.... “They can’t forget, they never will, the wind and waves remember Him still.” Bless your beautiful heart and God bless your mighty pen Mrs. Harmon. 6 stars for the Travelling Countess
Review: Rich in history, love, family, and courage. Many strengths, few minor weaknesses. - I’d call this a “paranormal historical love story” set in 1921 in battle-torn, patriotism-whipped Ireland-- and also in 2001 USA. Two nations and two ages separated by a lake in Ireland. OVERALL What drew me to this book? (1) The author is talented with a breadth of wisdom not always seen in novels. (2) The history and people of Ireland have always had a grip on my spirit. Irish dancers, writers and poets imbue the people. I love the mood-setting quotes from William Butler Yeats. (3) The narrator, Anne Gallagher, has an endearing and unassuming quality to her, a spirit of adventure and deep emotions. TIME AND PLACE. It seems to me the author patterned her story after Madeleine L’Engle’s A WRINKLE IN TIME which used quantum physics to credibly explain time and place travel for her characters. The incredulous twists and timelines in WHAT THE WIND KNOWS didn’t have that kind of support. Can your grandfather become your son? And can a woman get pregnant in the transported world and then give birth 80 years later in her first world? Hmmmm…fantastic! PLOT. Historical events and characters make the plot, not tightly woven, many twists, and long pauses for displays of love in families, among the Irish rebels, and the two main characters, Anne and Thomas. This is the kind of plot I like best – real life and unpredictable. SUSPEND DISBELIEF—for a time readers need to emotionally believe the world the author has created and live in it. But the new world has to “hang together.” Did it? For me in places it didn’t. Still, I enjoyed how the author tried to overcome that difficulty. An admirable job, she did! AND YET – I surely enjoyed the history made alive in characters who seemed real to me, heroes, villains, just people trying to cope with harsh and oppressive times. I PLAN TO READ THIS BOOK AGAIN. It is artistic with many passages that offer poignant and lasting truths. I revel in those. The prose is usually factual and straight-forward, although the author at times overdoes it: “…playing Russian roulette with my heart….tears leaked from my eyes.” Minor stuff. TRUE HISTORY. “This was a hard novel to write,” the author admits and gives credit to people who helped her to “get it right.” Although a few characters are fictional, and some a blend of real and imagination, the main ones are true to history. As a writer myself, I envy the skill displayed. RECOMMEND? YES, for most readers. Is this a perfect novel? Not quite. It’s meant for imperfect readers like me! True—I felt at one with the author and plan to read her other books. Thanks so much, Ms. Amy Harmon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Merging the party and the present
*by C***T on February 18, 2019*

My grandfather was born in Dublin in 1904 and although he wasn't Irish (German ancestry), I'd always wondered about his history in Ireland and how it fits into my own life story. I decided a pilgrimage of sorts was necessary to figure it out. I took my sister with me and we visited site after site, enjoying as much of Ireland as we could in a 3 week period. We visited every tourist site we could, and some usual locations on a whim. Many of those sites are mentioned in this book. We started at the Cliffs of Moher, spent days visiting Malahide Castle, Dublin castle the national museum's, New Grange and Galway, Cork, Muckross House and Middleton. We skipped the Blarney stone (who really wants to kiss something thousands of others had kissed in the last week?? It sounds unsanitary to me). We also skipped Waterford, but visited the Drombeg standing stones, the Ring of Kerry and the Giants Causeway. We traveled east to west, south to north and still didn't have time to see it all. We never did learn about our heritage, but I'm guessing that will be another opportunity. Another trip. Another adventure. Ireland is a beautiful place with a LOT of history, from the famine to the loss of the Titanic, its played its part in our lives. I wish I'd read this book before our trip. It would've explained a little more of the political conflicts that remains today. Belfast and northern Ireland remain part of the British empire and there are still some who are angry with the capitulation and presence of British influence on "Irish soil". As few as 20 years ago there were bombings and killings in protest of British rule. The Irish are a proud and traditional people. Wool sweaters, caps, fried fish and potato dishes, traditional music and dance are all present, but a new element has been added in spades: tourism. It seems that Ireland has recently increased 10x its business in tourism. It's growing as well. You can't see a clear skyline anymore, every city is dotted with cranes as they tear down the old and rebuild modern structures. This book was wonderfully written, making all of the history come to life. I enjoyed the characters, the plot (the conflict, the history, the romance), the language & tradition, the recollection of a past that isn't my own, but it felt SO real. Reading this story placed me there in the middle of the love, laughter, & heartache. I enjoyed the book tremendously. I WILL look for other books by this author. I'm usually content with a book when I'm done, this book made me crave more of Ireland. Maybe I'll get to visit the Emerald Island again someday.
