The Skye in June Sep 12, 2009 What a delight to have grown up in San Francisco in the 1960's, and as part of the MacDonald family! I wanted to be part of this story, and this family, and the colorful life they lived. June Ahern tells a wonderful and captivating story of this Scottish emigrant family, weaving these colorful characters into the fabric of the magic, that is San Francisco. A film is in the making, for sure!
majestic! amazing! grand! Aug 30, 2009 The Skye in June is a gift to us all! You will laugh. You will cry. You will fall in love with little Junie and her adventures to love, serve and be free. Everyone in my circle has a copy of this book. Read it, enjoy it and share it with the people you love!
Loved it! Aug 24, 2009 I really enjoyed the Skye in June. The characters are very alive and it made me feel the nostalgia of when I was little. I could relate to seeing the reality of life and its hardships through the innocent eyes of young June. Reading it made me feel a mix of nostalgia, sadness, magic, and child like innocence and love. I loved the imagery of Scotland and San Francisco. It was an easy read with creativity, substance, and honesty.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!! Jul 27, 2009 The Skye in June is a must read! I can't tell you how many books I have started to read in the past few years but none have kept my attention ~ until now! I stayed up late during the week because I could not put this book down. Then I did a marathon weekend of reading it until I got down to 15 pages left. I had to put the book down and stall because I didn't want the story to end! I felt like I was right there alongside of the MacDonald family through all of their adventures. I really hope the author will write a sequel ~ and SOON!
An absolute delight! Apr 23, 2009 This book was a delight from beginning to end. In fact I slowed down my reading near the end because I didn't want it to finish. I look forward to the sequel! The dialogue is beautifully clear and resonant. The character portrayal is wonderful -You can just see the family in your mind's eye. As an immigrant to this country from both Glasgow and Skye, I admire the way Ahearn's writing captures the essence and particularities of Scottish life. Well done!
