Wow what a fantastic book and one of the best books I have read this year.What the Wind Knows is an epic story written by Amy Harmon, and is an amazing interpretation of events in Ireland during the period of 1916 – 1922, the Easter Rising and Ireland’s fight for its independence. It is a stunning work of fiction interwoven with true historical events, combining the magical and the real. Whilst I have read several books from this period, this one was special. It speaks of the ordinary and the ex...

*****FIVE STARS*****{ARC Generously Provided by Author} ”Don’t go near the water, love. Stay away from strand or sea. You cannot walk on water, love; The lough will take you far from me.” I was a little nervous about reading this book. I’m not a fan of ”Historical Romances”, and history puts me to sleep, literally! The majority of the plot of ”WHAT THE WIND KNOWS” is deeply entrenched in history, and I am not going to lie, I struggled to get through most of the book, BUT, Amy Harmon is a truly...
Simply put .... Magnificent!!My first Amy Harmon read, and I absolutely get it now. I absolutely get why this author’s writings are so beloved. She pens a gorgeous, unforgettable romance. If all men loved their wives the way I love Anne, we would all be a useless lot. While I went into this blind, and highly recommend you do as well, I will tell you this is a historical romance and a time travel read. The setting is Ireland beginning in the year 1916. I share this information because I stay a...
What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon (Author), Saskia Maarleveld (Narrator), Will Damron (Narrator)I wasn't sure I wanted to read this story because it involves time travel but after pondering reviews for the last year, I decided to give it a go and I'm glad that I did. As with many historical fictions, reading/hearing them leads me to researching the real life events while I enjoy the book. I didn't know much about Ireland's fight for independence but learning more about it from the internet allow...
Wow. I'm sort of slack-jawed right now. I was drawn to the cover first--it has to be one of the most beautiful I've ever seen--and then a snippet drew me in deeper. Something about it resonated, and while fiction hasn't been so good for me lately, I had a feeling about this one and I was right. I know that doesn't tell you anything helpful about the book, except maybe to know that it is not a novel that lets go of you easily. Historical, fantastical, romantic, and brilliant. I can't imagine the
Thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union publishing for an e-Arc in exchange for an honest review. Such a beautiful story! I mean, who can resist a time travel novel? I really cannot and Amy Harmon weaves a beautiful tale of a 21st century woman who finds herself traveling back to 1920's Ireland. Just like main protagonist Anne, I was swept away into the political intrigues of a country that wished to get rid of its British oppressor. Not to mention that I certainly fell in love with Thomas and lit
Anyone who enjoys historical fiction will embrace this one. Harmon has become a go to author for me as a talented writer.She swept me away in The Songbook of Benny Lament as well as Where the Lost WanderThis is another enjoyable one. It’s a time traveller piece which at first made me hesitate but not for long as I was quickly immersed in this story.Ireland. 2001. Annie tosses the ashes of her grandfather into the lake per his wishes. Next thing you know, it’s 1921 and Annie has been transposed i...
5, brb, crying forever stars!!!It's been a while since I read this, but I'm trying to dig myself out of my self-induced review hole so I'll give it my best shot! Obviously, as you can tell by my rating I absolutely adored this book. Anne Gallagher was raised by her Irish grandfather, Eion. As the only parent she's ever truly known they have an incredibly loving relationship and after Eion passes away Anne is heartbroken and left feeling lost and listless. Fulfilling Eions final wish, Anne travel...
