kenjariTill the Day Goes Down
by Judith Lennox-Smith
This historical novel was quick, entertaining read. It concerns the activities of Arbel Forster, Christie Forster, and Luke Ridley, members of two inter-related yet feuding families on the border of England and Scotland in the 1580s. Romance, intrigue, and adventure ensue. Christie, a pragmatic and spritied young woman, and Luke, a roguish landowner, are the two protagonists. Yet the course of their lives is heavily influenced by the actions of Arbel, who is tragically both amoral and innocent. While not an outstanding or wildly inventive novel, I did find it engaging. The book did its job.
