    Plenty of novels have been written about frontier days and frontier gals, but Lily s Story is different it doesn t just tell her story, it immerses readers in the sights, sounds and sentiments of her times There s a big difference between a novel that describes events and one that plunges the reader into its setting and world Gutteridge holds the ability to bring this strange frontier world to life as readers absorb Lily s interests, fascination with the unknown, and reactions to how her parent [...]

    I was genuinely surprised by how much I liked Lily s Story by Don Gutteridge I admit it did take me a bit of time before I felt really hooked in the story, but once I was I was all in I liked it for so many different reasons, first the writing was stellar The strong word choice and fluid prose makes it a very easy book to just get lost in There are enough descriptions where you can picture everything perfectly, but not so much that it bogs down the pacing I almost feel like I just read 5 differe [...]

    4.5 starsFrom the opening pages of Lily s Story I knew it would be different from the books I ve been reading lately and I was right To say this is totally unlike anything I ve ever read before would be an understatement I m not sure how to even describe this book as SO much happens, and it seems to touch on so many elements, themes, and subjects It is presented almost like a nonfiction story as the events are so realistic, yet it is clearly fiction Although the lengthy bibliography at the end d [...]

    Lily s Story by Don Gutteridge is an amazing and epic piece of historical fiction One of the most original and well crafted novels I ve read in a long time I was completely drawn in from the get go, and absolutely loved Mr Gutteridge s use of description of the different scenery and locales, and his attention to historical detail There is something of everything action, drama, history, strength and survival, relationships Excellent editing, some minor formatting glitches aside and despite the he [...]

    In Lily s story, Don Gutteridge proves yet again his mastery of historical fiction, and his unique ability to conjure up characters who are both engaging, and believable Following the long life of an original Upper Canada pioneer woman, Lily s Story plays out on the wonderfully rich background of early colonial Ontario that is both painstakingly researched, and immediately accessible to the reader One can almost smell the pine and moss of Lily s childhood homestead Gutteridge also adds a charact [...]

    Really enjoyed reading Lily s Story I know Point Edward as it is now so it was interesting reading how it was back then Loved the characters in this story.They were all very real Heard about the pet crow from my father in law so it was great to read about it in the book.I really liked the way the story ended So glad that Lily had her own family with after all that she had endured Nice way to bring it around full circle
