   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.   WBCLIB | Jun 6, 2023 |  I loved and totally identified with the main character, Georgie Gail. She was smart, educated,independent and witty. She had her own house, as a perk from her job as the switchboard operator of the town. An advid reader of s publications about birds, she fought against the town milliner who used bird parts on the hats that he and his family created. I was paricurly horrified at the description of one dress! The woman wore an owl's on her hat, had swallow wings adorning the cape and the worst was the hem which was encircled by the tiny heads of pretty yellow birds. I reacted the same as Georgie! I had to lay down my book and try to get the vision out of my head before continuing to read the book. Eventually the Migratory Bird Act of 1918 came about. Many birds were becoming extinct because they were killed for the feathers, heads and sometimes whole bodies. I remember seeing women with mink stole with the heads hanging down in them in the 1950s. I remember cringing that a woman would want to buy anything that was essentially a dead body! Back to the story, the love interest is Luke Palmer aka Lucious Landram, full of Clark Gable charm but married to the job that he loved. I must say that I adored the ending and was surprised by it. Please do read it if you love birds! (  ) Carolee888 | Nov 22, 2022 |  ) JevKim | Apr 22, 2022 | ) mcmlsbookbutler | Sep 19, 2016 | ) Sandralb | Aug 30, 2016 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

In 1904 Texas Ranger Luke Palmer arrives in Brenham, Texas, with one goal--to capture the gang of outlaws led by Frank Comer. Undercover as a telephone repairman, he uses his days on the range to search, not realizing there's another pair of eyes watching him. Georgie Gail, switchboard operator and birder, heads out on a birding expedition, but instead of sighting a painted bunting, her opera glasses capture her telephone man, armed and far away from telephone lines. Palmer is forced to take this alluring troublemaker into his confidence and unwittingly puts her in harm's way. The closer he comes to the gang, the further she works her way into his heart--and into trouble. Soon it's more than just love that's on the line. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
