Product Description
Based on historical characters and events, A Gathering of Finches tells the story of a turn-of-the-century Oregon coastal couple and the consequences of their choices, as seen through the eyes of the wife, her sister, and her Indian maid. Along the way, the reader will discover reasons to trust that money and possessions can't buy happiness or forgiveness, nor permit us to escape the consequences of our choices. The story emphasizes the message that real meaning is found in the relationships we nurture and in living our lives in obedience to God.

• Agree With Slow And Dull 10 March, 2006
I am an Oregonian and found this to be painful to read. My book group selected it, otherwise I would have stopped at 100 pages. I am writing this, my first review, to provide some balance to the glowing reports given this poorly written so called historical novel. I finally gave up on page 289 unwilling to waste any more time on undeveloped characters, sentences without subjects, and more questions raised than answered.
Horrible. My rating - 5 stars.

• Loved It! 12 May, 2007
I absolutely loved this book! I could not put it down, nor could I stop thinking about the book for a week after I had finished it. The research the author put into this book is amazing. It made me want to learn more about the main characters in this book, the Simpsons, and to visit the site of Shore Acres, their home, which is now a state park.

• I Read Nearly A Book A Day, Yet Will Never Forget This Story 26 September, 2004
Jane Kirkpatrick transports you in her books, bringing rich stories to life. I read this book about 18 months ago, yet it stands out in my mind as one of my top reads for the past decade.

• Slow-going And Dull 25 October, 2002
I suspect you might have to be an Oregonian to like this book, and a patient one at that. (I read it as the choice of another member of my book group.) Although I'm a voracious reader, I found "Finches," like many ersatz 20th-century "Victorian" novels, way too long--and I was able to foresee at least one crucial development of the plot long before it was revealed. The author at times has a rather clipped style and uses words in what at best might be considered an unusual or "fresh" way, but I often had to reread her sentences to figure out their meaning. The two lead characters especially were unappealing and the ostentatious description of their ostentatious wealth was boring. Unless you live in Oregon and are a committed devotee of its history, don't waste your time on this one. I would have given this book no star at all if I had been given that choice.
