Mine is the Night: A Novel Audiobook

" Liz Curtis Higgs is one of my favorite story-tellers when it comes to historical fiction. Loosely based on the Biblical story of Ruth and Naomi, Mine is the Night retells the story set in Scotland at the close of the Jacobite rebellion, which leaves two women widowed and at risk for being imprisoned for their husband's support of Bonnie Prince Charlie. It's a wonderful read in true "Lizzie" fashion. "

" I could not stop from reading this book. It was an unpredictable story. I could not put this book down. Good choice of characters. Loved it! "

" Rarely read this genre but 2 (or so) years ago I read Here Burns My Candle and really wanted to read the rest of Higgs story and her interpretation of the book of Ruth. I had forgotten parts of the first book but had no trouble reading this w/o reviewing book 1 first. I think I'd even say I liked this one better! "

" Great historical novel. The Scottish words scattered throughout the story brought back fond memories of my Scottish grandmother. "

" If Book #1 "Here Burns My Candle" is a story of losses and sorrow, then Book #2 "Mine is the Night" is a story of love, loss, inspiring transformation,faith and forgiveness. I could not find enough hours to read these two books. "

" Lovely, lovely book! one of the things that I liked about this were that the main men were so heroic and noble! you could tell why the women loved them. "

" Love, love, love anything Liz Curtis Higgs writes and this was amazing! Book two. Book one is "Here Burns My Candle". Both are excellent reads. "

" Such a great follow-up to "Here Burns My Candle". Wish there was a 3rd book... "

" MUCH better than the first book in this series... "

" Fascinating historical detail in Scotland during the late 1700's - Bonny Prince Charlie and all that. A little heavy on the christian fiction, but that can be comforting from time to time. "

" I enjoyed this very much. It's a story based loosely on the Biblical account of Ruth & Naomi, very well done, I thought. It has the typical "happy ending" but hey, I'm a sucker for happy endings. "

" Took too long time to say not much. It was a good story, but lacking something - not sure what. "

" This is the conclusion of the Naomi/Ruth story started in Here Burns My Candle. Any story that makes me want to have greater faith in the Lord is a winner to me, and this did. "

" Lovely ending to the sequel. Ms. Higgs made the times come to life and I felt as tho I was living in the neighborhood the characters was so fun. "

" This was a pretty good read. The author tried to transplant the Biblical story of Ruth into Scotland, just after the Jacobite plot to restore "bonny Prince Charlie" to the British throne failed. It sort of worked, and I enjoyed the book. "

" This story mirrors the Book of Ruth in the Bible. Interesting - enjoyable "

" I liked the historic aspects of this book. I didn't want to put it down. A very good read. "
