THE BRIDE’S HOUSE is home to three very different young
women across three generations of the same family. Each has a secret. Each generation has secrets. The secrets are eventually revealed (but not
by me!) and show how the keeping, or telling, of a secret can affect an entire
generation and even succeeding generations.
Sandra Dallas is a writer of people, complete with foibles, warts and
generosity of character. In THE BRIDE’S HOUSE she has woven a fascinating tale
of love, deceit, passion, heartache, callousness, generosity, forgiveness,
redemption and the women who are affected and affect others. The three women – Nealie, Pearl and Susan –
are complete individuals surrounded by fully fleshed out characters.
The plot is believable and interesting. Book groups will love this book that spans a
century – from 1880 to 2000 – and a changing country -- from a rough and tumble
mining town to a sophisticated Denver.
5 of 5 stars
