The Lark Ascending Kindle Edition

by Harriet Smart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 25 ratings

When Chris Adam recieves a proposal from wealthy young Guy Lindsay, her family are delighted – this would be a fine match indeed for a daughter of the Manse. Chris is tempted, for she is attracted to Guy, but her vocation is to be a composer, and instead of marriage she chooses to study music in Edinburgh.

There Chris meets Angus Bretton, who has been sent down from medical school in disgrace. Though he seems strangely restrained after the passionate Guy, Chris falls deeply in love with him, and it is Angus who comes to her rescue when events conspire against her and all her dreams are in ruins. But Angus is not all that Chris imagines him to be and their happiness is shortlived. A chance meeting with Guy gives Chris a glimpse of the fulfilling life she might have had – but now Guy is married to one of Chris's friends.

As war breaks out across Europe in 1914, tragedy, betrayal and scandal lie ahead before Chris can fulfil her musical destiny and stand by the side of the man she loves.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying story just right
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017
    She writes about exceptional women, that don't fit the stereotype of the day. There is much to identify with, even for a non-music person. I was caught in the web of the story and love the ups and downs of the plot - it isn't simple or short, it is satisfying.

    A story of passion and coming of age in a hostile world. The characters are well designed and engrossing. I felt every page.
