Love her courage and how she strong she is no matter what life throws her. I can not recommend this book enough. Recommended to Margarida by: A minha filha mais velha. Este foi o meu segundo livro de Lesley Pearse. Tal como o out Este foi o meu segundo livro de Lesley Pearse.

People have described 'Never Look Back' as one of the best intriguing novels Lesley Pearce has written. I contend she is the most lazy author I have ever read, and if anything, should have put this particular story in seven books and not one. She has the amazing gift of skipping to the end, wilfully overlooking what would be the more interesting story and preferring to refer back to the alleged incident in one or two sentences.

Matilda is ready to embark on a dangerous journey with her People have described 'Never Look Back' as one of the best intriguing novels Lesley Pearce has written. Matilda is ready to embark on a dangerous journey with her baby on her back in a canoe in troubled waters with a native American guide, gets in the boat and suddenly in the story it's two weeks later and nothing more than a quick blurb after the fact said!

For a book entitled 'Never Look Back' this author breaks this rule consistently. One should be warned of the quality of the book by the simple fact Lesley fantastically has the sun, like a huge orange fireball page , edition, Penguin softback sinking into the sea on the Eastern seaboard! I am grateful that my father in law found this in a skip and I didn't have any regrets to purchase it.

That said, like mocking a terrible movie, I have enjoyed a laugh and a shock about many issues this book has and how angry her stereotypes and cliche have made me. According to Lesley Pearce and the anti-male protagonist, Matilda all men, except the main good characters, are evil, callous, swarthy, rough looking, insolent, drunk and sex-crazed.

Matilda contradicts herself often, for example, she is shocked when she arrives in San Francisco about the above said debauchery by the men there yet she soon embarks on making an entertainment hall which serves drink and has dancing girls! She is so shocked by the drunkenness and dead animals in the streets, she won't allow her own daughter to move there, presuming the poor sod Cissie left behind will do the drudgery, and then when San Francisco finally cleans up, produces ladies of finery, schools of education, respectable churches, etc.

Matilda seems to forget about that objective and even that she had a child. When Matilda visits her daughter and family back in Oregon, absolutely nothing is said of the visit until after the visit, some weeks or months later, in a kind of 'looking back' or retrospective way. And if not that, it's death by trees, random gunshots, and cholera. I am sure that people died a lot quite often in that time, but you grow to get an uncomfortable tingling sensation when everything is going okay and people are happy and reconciled, because just around the corner, somebody really important to the plot dies.

In addition to unjust murder of key characters, Lesley Pearce should be ashamed of her old fashioned stereotypes of people who are not white like herself. Mexican men are all described as having droopy mustaches. The banker is Jewish with a clearly Jewish name Jacob Weinburg and has a prominent nose and is ugly, a point which the main characters go out of their way to comment on. Even though he was nice enough to lend money to them. And to top it off, she even describes a maid entering the room as a NEGRESS, and this isn't even from the main character's point of view perhaps forgiven due to the era but is an author's narration.

All the black characters are described as black, negro, dark skinned, etc, and never simply as a character. They also all have wide grins, thick lips and wide, splayed out noses. But you might want to grind it in a bit more and have Delores 'done make a mess of chicken.

Generally stallions are not intermingled with mares when marching along and riding in company as they cause trouble fighting with other horses and continually look for mares in heat. Her Captain Russell rode a stallion whilst Matilda rode a mare in one scene. When the mare gets out of hand and runs away, the author believes the mare has run for a couple of miles does she have any idea how far a couple of miles is? Matilda hasn't got any idea how to stop the mare in flight even though she was part of a wagon train amongst people riding in a society where all transportation was by horse.

It would be akin to not knowing the common knowledge that to turn a car right or left you turn the steering wheel either way. The author claims that simple farmers who travel in the wagon train wouldn't have had experience with a firearm and only she, who has had a few weeks target practice, was able to bring down a deer.

How insulting to the men on this trip who, unless they are all dolts, would have had time to practice themselves, considering their chief source of food would be from what they shot Captain Russell forgets that he did find his wife Evelyn interesting, describing her as being accomplished, pretty, and amusing company and that the marriage was based on a firm foundation of compatibility and perhaps love would grow from it. Then very soon after this was said, after he had sexed Matilda, he described Evelyn as being 'so empty-headed that an hour or two alone with her seemed endless. It is convenient to make the wife who is cheated on into a monster to justify the adultery, but it would have been far more refreshing and less overdone to portray the wife as normal, and Matilda just a tad more sexy and the reason why he strayed was simply a basic need.

It would be nice if people were honest about such things. Matilda names her dancing girls entertainment saloon classy London Lil's after the poor dear Lily, the preacher's wife who would have fainted dead away if she weren't dead already at the honour of her name on the board. She went out of her way as a minister's wife to avoid the appearance of all evil.

What an insult to her name and memory! I am beginning chapter 24, roughly a hundred pages to the end and I have made a prediction which I wrote in the book, that Captain Russell will die very shortly after he legally divorces Evelyn and is finally free either from the military or his wife to be with Matilda again to spend out the rest of their days in love and peace.

This book though is just so poorly written and researched, and uses so many lazy cliches, that it's not even got entertainment value.

I don't care if you're British, you should know better. My only thought is that she saw the figure , and counted the zeros wrong. Where was her editor? The book is too long and filled with people Matty cares about dying at every turn.

I know the mortality rate was lower back then, but it belies belief that one person would be that unlucky. I will stick with Pearse's "girl name" books, at least those are true to formula and generally do not have such glaring errors as the sun setting on the wrong side of the US.

I found the first half of the book to be totally absorbing and thought it was destined to be my all time best book. As it progressed, however, I became frustrated with the main character who made some strange and selfish decisions which seemed to be totally out of character. I didn't really understand why the author swapped from first person to third person all the time. The 'in the moment' sections were so much stronger and would have made for a much more powerful read.

That said, I highly recommend it and don't think anyone would regret picking this one up. Mar 04, Shenali rated it it was amazing Shelves: Absolutely adored this book! It was a well written fantastic book, with a gripping moving story. The character of Matty was brilliantly written. Actually, most of the characters were superb with ideal portrayals making the reader identify with them, and connect with them. The life story of Matty, with all the other characters entwined was just so poignantly beautiful.
