The Miner's Lady is the third in the land of shining water series by Tracie Peterson. I didn't know this when I selected this book to review for Bethany House or I probably would have chosen a different book. (Because I don't normally start a series in the middle :) But im glad now I got this one because it was very interesting! I found out all the other books in this series are about different people so it wasn't confusing.
The Miner's Lady is set in Ely, a small mining town in Minnesota, the year of 1890. And is centered around two Itailan miner familys, the Calarco's and the Penetta's. Who have been sworn enemies for decades . When Isabella Penetta falls in love with Orlando Calarco. Isabella's only sister, Chantel, thinks there is no hope. But unable to resist Isabellas pleas. She agrees to help her spend time with Orlando. Only to have a run-in with Orlando's Older brother Dante. Will the family's be able to make peace, or will Chantel and Isabella's hope for love be buried amidst decades of misunderstanding?
I liked this book but some parts didn't seem to tie-in very well, Like Chantel and Isabella's brother Marco's story. At first it seemed like it could go somewhere but then it never developed. And it didn't seem to have anything to do with the rest of the plot. all in all though I think this book was worth reading it was more slow paced and relaxed than some books, which is nice for a change.
