The Flight of Gemma Hardy
reviewed on + 531 more book reviews


A great story of Gemma Hardy,being orphaned when both parents die, being transported from Iceland to Scotland. Margot Livesay writes descriptively of the rural landscape of Scotland, and of the mystical island of Iceland.
Gemma faces challenging circumstances at boarding school, overcomes obstacles in her life, finding her way,and establishes her place in life. Gemma is an au pair to two
children and experiences two relationships.
I found Livesay to write in a spell-binding fashion.
A great read allowing me to travel, learning about other cultures andlandscapes of both countries.
