Hello Readers,
We are going into the third book of the Susan Hill adventure that I took recently. I have just gotten the fourth one from the library and intend on doing more of her books in the future. Here is what I thought of The Beacon.
Colin. May. Frank. Berenice. The Prime children grew up in a bleak country farm house called The Beacon. Colin and Berenice married locally. May went to university in London, but came home within a year and never left again. Only Frank, quiet, watchful Frank, got away. He left for Fleet Street and a career in journalism but its the publication of a book about his childhood that brings the fame and money he craves - and tears his family apart.

Review: 5/5 stars
From the beginning Susan will take you into an adventure into May's future and past. She hits on many problems that are faced by people living in small towns or communities. The past plays a huge role in this book. I want to warn you that it will take you back and forth a lot, this however didn't throw me. It might annoy some of you though. I do though want to say that sticking with it will make for an awesome ending to a great book.
Susan makes all her characters relate-able and designs a plot that allows all readers to follow it with a great hunger. Her character all have a huge depth to them that allow you to get lost in them. It makes you wonder after you close the book how it turns out in the end for all these characters. Will Frank manage to recreate his relationship with May or will he ever be frozen out by her. Does she overcomes her fears and leaves the Beacon?

Thank you for your time and I hope that you will come back to see my thoughts of "The Monk" by Mathew Lewis.
