the kind where the characters remain with you long after you have closed the book, and you are

"An intelligently plotted and atmospheric historical novel, Under the Emerald Sky takes readers on a rollicking ride through a turbulent period in Irish history and follows a love that is “forbidden.” The setting is beautifully written and skillfully set at a time in which the Irish experience oppression under English rule and when only a few locals had the privilege of owning their land."

"Emotional and Riveting! Under the Emerald Sky is an emotional glimpse into life in 1800s Ireland, just before the potato famine hits. Weber clearly put a ton of research into her work and it shows on every page! 

So much happened in this book, but the twist at the end had my head spinning! 

Filled with action, betrayal, love, redemption, and loss, Under the Emerald Sky is a fantastic historical fiction! I look forward to the rest of the series!!"

"Facts and fiction, history and romance, light and darkness - all in one novel! A beautifully written novel. The historical facts are well researched, indicating the onset to a dark era in Irish history. The tale of two people with high hopes to make a better life for the less fortunate as well as for themselves give the story an amorous touch - a passionate love story for the ages! I look forward to reading the next installment!"

"Under the Emerald Sky is a page-turning historic romance that immerses the reader in an Ireland now lost to the passage of time. If you enjoy romances that break social taboos and lead to social and economic

reform, this will be your cup of cocoa."

"Like a tv drama - Beautifully written. It was long but I loved the characters and the story. It was like watching a TV drama and I felt sorry to leave the MCs at the end."

"A fantastic first work - Under the Emerald Sky is a superbly structured novel that provides vivid impressions of the truly remarkable situation in Ireland in the middle of the 19th century, partly with clear facts, but also with the characters and their relatable concerns. With the inclusion of a romance that credibly bridges differences and casts the reader under its spell, an exciting story develops in the history of Ireland, which immediately made me hope for the next novel. Please continue!"
