Narration Concering Books The Proposal (The English Garden #1)

Lori Wick started this series called "The English Garden Series," on the acknowledgements page she admits to being a fan of Jane Austen, which pleased me exceedingly because I am too! Lori Wick is also a fan of the time period and "The Proposal" takes place in England in 1810. In homage to Jane Austen, Lori Wick used a lot of character names from Jane Austen's works, however these characters don't display the same personalities of the ones for which they are named. I wasn't confused by this as I knew that she was using the names only. It was fun to be reminded of some of the Jane Austen characters and I would guess that Lori Wick is a fan of Sense and Sensibility since she used a lot of names from that particular book.

This is a Christian Romance and is filled with characters who have great moral values, pray, and rely on God. If you don't want a book that has Christian undertones this isn't the book for you. I read a lot of Christian and Historic Romances and this has been one of the most touching in story.

The Scenario:
William Jennings is a solitary man and enjoys his life, he has no desire for a wife, and doesn't believe in God. However, his sister Lydia does believe in God, and he has not spoken with her because of that for some years now. However, when a distant cousin dies and leaves three young children, William feels as if he his getting exactly what he wants, children without the hassle of a wife. William learns a lot by this experience, like how he needs help, how families and women who are Christians are different then people who aren't, and that everyone is a sinner, including him.

The book was an easy, light read and the ending was much better than the beginning. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five because I think the author could work more on her character descriptions. I found it hard to picture the characters appearences, there was very few visual descriptions. I think the characters would seem less "cardboard" if there were more descriptions, maybe more defined personalities, that way we the reader can relate to them more.

Criticism Based On Books The Proposal (The English Garden #1)

If you're a fan of Austen & Bronte, you may enjoy Wick's English Garden series, set in the mid-1800s Victorian England. Without reading classics on that era, you won't get much at all from these poorly written stories. Wick provides no details on settings, costumes, activities, or characters; no era-appropriate language or topics; unbelievable interactions between characters; and fully half the book is taken up without repeating the same scene over and over and over and over again! I was

I like Regencies and Victorian novels so I purchased all 4 books in this series on Kindle a couple of years ago when they were on sale. I've just finished listening to the Audio of this first one on Scribd. Its not the worst novel in the world, and the concept was interesting- but- I didn't care for the execution. To say its preachy would be an understatement. Indeed, I felt that the synopsis is misleading to some extend. Much of the second half of the book read like an extended sermon, or as it

What a nice pleasant read! I found this series in our church library and wanted to read something warm & fuzzy! This was just perfect for a rainy day, curl up and read. I so enjoyed the characters and story line. There was no bad language, explicit sex scenes or vulgarity in this story. And, the Christian aspect was so heart warming. Generally, I don't read romances, many are too crude for my taste. This was just such a nice change of pace and kept my interest that I will continue the

4 stars but adding a bonus one for the depth of the message and for the wonderful cozy feeling it gave. While I would say some things in the plot could have been expanded better, I enjoyed the feeling while reading so much that I just had to bump it up. Why has this been sitting on my shelf for five years untouched, pray tell?

This was a decent book. I love Lori Wicks style. I wouldnt say its the best book of hers, but its definitely up there. I did have a couple of pet peeves. Why was William Jennings always called Jennings? Even by his sister, he was called that? And them Lydia, his sister, called her husband by his last name all the time. I find this strange and unrealistic.I do think the book move a little slow romance-wise for me, but all around, not a bad read.

I pushed myself through 150 pages before I decided I just wasnt into this book. Let me be clear...there is nothing wrong with this book! If you like historical fiction or books where character development is the main focus, give this one a try. Its just not what Im in the mood for right now.
