Walk on Earth a Stranger
by Rae Carson
I'll be honest I haven't read much historical fiction infact the ones I have tried to read have kind of been a little dull so I've avoided the genre for a few months but Walk on Earth a Stranger appealed to me well mostly because of little hint of fantasy in it and this book also covers a bit of US history that I was curious about.
A summery for Walk on Earth a Stranger:
Gold is in my blood, in my breath, even in the flecks of my eyes.
Lee Westfall has a strong, loving family. She has a home she loves and a loyal steed. She has a best friend-who might want to be something more.
She also has a secret.
Lee can sense gold in the world around her. Veins deep in the earth. Small nuggets in a stream. Even gold dust caught underneath a fingernail. She has kept her family safe and able to buy provisions, even through the harshest winters. But what would someone do to control a girl with that kind of power?
A person might murder for it.
When everything Lee holds dear is ripped away, she flees west to California-where gold has just been discovered. Perhaps this will be where a magical girl can be herself. If she survives the journey.
This is the first Rae Carson book I've read and I enjoyed it a great deal and for once it was a piece of historical fiction with a fantasy twist and that made things easier I guess and this book was quite easy to get once you get used to the terms used so in a way you wind up reading this book in a accent because that's what I found even though I can't quite put a finger on the accent though not that I mind anyway as I enjoyed the journey Lee went through but I am curious to see the future development of her in the next two books and where Rae Carson plans on moving the story forward only problem is I now have to wait until 2016 to find out.
