A new
poster I designed for my emotional book
Storm Clouds
Gathering.
This is what some of
the readers have had to say…
“Storm Clouds
Gathering tells the story of three families during the sixties in the North of
England. Being originally from Yorkshire myself the setting immediately
appealed to me and Pauline’s evocation of the era is spot-on. I particularly
enjoyed the way in which the three stories intertwined and Pauline Barclay is
adept at sweeping the reader up as the story carries you along. I became quite
engrossed in the highs and lows that the different characters shared, running
the whole gamut of emotions – always the sign of a good writer. This is a book
that will stay in your mind long after you have finished the last page.”
“This is the third
book of Ms. Barclay's that I have read, and like the other two (The Wendy
House, Magnolia House), this is a real page turner! Couldn't put it down! As
the title suggests- there is a storm brewing, but Ms.Barclay sets up the story
in a calm peaceful way. Then the lives of these characters start to unravel.
There is much emotion throughout the story, and like another reviewer said: the
book stays with you.”
“This was one of the
best books I've read for a long time. Three different families' stories,
interwoven and brought together by tragedy and heartbreak. Twists and turns
aplenty, a complete page-turned that I found myself reading late into the
night.”
“Yes, the story is
deeply compelling. It takes more than a compelling storyline, though, to make a
great novel. For me, the characters and the extent to which I connect with them
are what really make or break a story. In real life, we have an emotional
reaction to gathering storm clouds because we care about the people affected by
the brewing storm. In Barclay's Storm Clouds Gathering, I absolutely had
emotional reactions because I cared deeply for the characters. Barclay has
created realistic, vulnerable characters, characters who, like real people,
have strengths and weaknesses. Her characters, each with a distinct
personality, are human. Barclay brings them to life in a very powerful way, and
as I read I felt very connected to each of them in different ways.”
