| | |  | |  | | | The Star Garden: A Novel of Sarah Agnes Prine | | SKU:
| | Availability:
Usually ships in 1 business days | | | Told in the form of a diary, Turner's third Sarah Agnes Prine novel is set in 1906 in the Arizona Territory, with 43-year-old Sarah widowed and living in a house built by the man she had refused to marry, Rudolfo Maldonado. Her former hired help, Rudolfo is now one of the richest and most unscrupulous men in the territory. Sarah, the mother of several grown boys and the center of her large clan, is being courted by her neighbor, Udell Hanna, and though she is attracted to him, she is not so sure she wants another husband. The novel bustles with a large cast and period western atmospherics. Turner also depicts a host of domestic and frontier dramas (family strife, concerns about bandits, border disputes). Sarah's independent streak and sometimes wily nature will endear her to contemporary readers. Part western, part romance, part imagined history of the evolution of American womanhood, the novel is well researched and manages to be at once entertaining and thoughtful. (Sept.)

 Sarah Prine forever Jul 11, 2008
Sarah has so many things to go wrong but she knows how to resolve the problem and keep it all together. Way to go Sarah. Mr. Hanna needs to get it together. He needs to concentrate on Sarah and not on Frances.
Let's see what happens as I get further into the book.
 Good Book Jun 05, 2008
I have loved the two previous "Sarah" books. Sarah Prine is one of my favorite heroines, full of courage and spunk. Even when she doesn't know what to do, she does her honest best, which is a quality I admire greatly. However, (don't read any further unless you have read the book) I think Sarah "sold out" for lack of a better word. Her relations with Udell Hanna were a big disappointment to me. I know she was lonely, but that part of the book didn't feel like the true Sarah to me. She's human, as we all are, but I wish she had stayed true to herself. Still, a good story. I would like for Nancy Turner to put a picture of all the characters on her website, if she has any. Especially Jack. He must have been the Tom Selleck of his day!!
the star garden May 05, 2008
really enjoyed this book, I read the first two and this one was as good
Better than I Thought it would be! Mar 30, 2008
This last book of the series was SO GOOD. Not as good as the first, better than the second. If you have read These is my Words then definitely keep reading the rest of the series! I wasn't going to read Star Garden because I didn't get that into Sarah's Quilt. I'm so glad I did!

Loved it Feb 24, 2008
I have read all 3 of her books and this was my second favorite after "These is My Words." Very well written. Can't wait for the next book.
