This was book 2 in a series and I remember nothing of book 1 except that it was chick lit and I really liked it. :) in other words, if I have "met" any of these characters before in book 1, I do not remember them at all. I purchased this (book 2) a while ago, probably about the time I read book 1.This was a nice story, with nice characters. I liked that it was set in New Zealand. However, I did do a bit of scan-reading, which is normally an automatic 2-star rating but, about halfway through, things picked up and the need to scan-read disappeared.
I really enjoyed this book. The characters are compelling and the story carried me along. A great read. The audible version is also very good.
This Review might seem bias because I know the Author but I always really enjoy Zana's books. Regardless of knowing the Author I'm the kind of person who will never get through a book I don't like but with "Fool's Gold" I just could not put it down!This book has many points of interest and combines historical fiction with romance. It takes us back to a colonial South Island of New Zealand through fun character development and a overall light hearted read.
This is a historical set in New Zealand in 1866, and features one of the pluckiest heroines I’ve read recently. Guinevere is an English Lady who grew up on an estate with her open-minded father. Father loved artists, and the manor house was always full of artists, occasionally naked models, and progressive dinner conversation. Her father was so generous, in fact, that he pretty much lost all their money and mortgaged her beloved home to a neighbor, with the provision that, if Dad couldn’t repay the loan, Gwen could just marry the neighbor and keep the house anyway.Gwen and her father travel to New Zealand to photograph a possibly extinct bird, because that picture could pay enough to get their house back. Unfortunately, dad didn’t survive the sea voyage. Gwen strikes out on her own, because it’s either get the picture or marry the stuffy old guy. She is told by every man she meets to “listen to reason,†it’s “for her own good,†and she is over it. She walks off into the forest with an old horse, a dog, and her father’s camera.In the forest, Gwen meets Quinn, a gold-hunting Irishman who really, really hates the English nobility. He tries to give her advice in “that dismissive tone of male superiority she’d come to hate over the past month,†and she kindly tells him back off. Then she nearly drowns in a flood and he rescues her, so they have to continue their arguments over class while she recuperates in her hotel room. Quinn fully believes that Gwen sees him as some sort of servant, that she wouldn’t really talk to him as an equal, and that they aren’t friends. In fact, Gwen sees him as a decent chap who’s just a bit haunted.The best parts of this book were the friendly chats between Gwen and Quinn, mostly because they came to lovingly tease each other:“Just as a certain insufferable Irishman had once predicted, I was turned out without a character.â€â€œI knew it!†Quinn was triumphant.She sighed. “My only consolation in this whole sorry affair is the knowledge that no gentleman would ever gloat over a woman’s misfortunes.â€They also discuss her unusual upbringing and Quinn’s biases against the upper class. He knows poverty and hard work, whereas she knows the luxury of discussing art and having servants clean the home.The second-best parts of the book were the historical details. New Zealand had a bit of a gold rush, so it attracted all sorts of people. Gwen starts out in a small town that was probably the same as any in San Francisco or Alaska at that time, with crooked hotels, supply stores, and saloons with dancing girls. Then she makes her way to Christchurch, which is more civilized, and she works as a maid, finally learning about furniture polish and how to clean out a fireplace.Gwen also turns her photography hobby into a career. She takes portraits of the rich in stuffy settings, yet she also focuses on the unseen workers like cooks and maids. Her eyes are opened as her fortunes rise and fall, and she uses her camera to share her view with the world.The worst parts of the book were the times Gwen lost everything. It happened more than once. The first time, I could understand it as a good plot device. I just wish she didn’t have to be victimized again and again. She always turned her thoughts to her ancestors, who had never backed away from adversity, and picked herself up and dusted herself off. And except for the time she nearly drowned in a river, she did it without any help from a man.This book is a fascinating glimpse of time and place, and it covers social issues of class and gender. With all that, the romance is sweet but very slow to burn. Quinn is too hung up on his past and prejudice to make any sort of move, and Gwen is too focused on saving her house and eventually returning to England to give him an opening. It all works out in the end, but I wouldn’t have minded a few more makeout sessions.Rating: BReview copy provided by the publisher.This review was originally posted on Red Hot Books at: http://redhotbooks.com/2014/10/review-fools-gold-by-zana-bell.html
I love a headstrong heroine. I especially liked this headstrong heroine--so stubborn, argumentative, tired of men telling her what to do. Though this stubbornness backfires sometimes, like when she lost her horse. Grrr, lady. But I appreciate her sense of pride, the way she holds herself like a lady in all tricky situations (and there are quite a few!), they way she doesn't hold herself above others, and how when she's knocked down--broke with her dreams drowned in a river flood or when she's robbed--she gets right back up to try again.The 411: Gwen and her father were on their way from England to New Zealand to take a prized photograph of the rare ostrich, but her father died on the ship, leaving Gwen in dire straits. She can go back to England and marry a man she does not love or she can continue her father's quest (and when that fails, anything else she sets her mind too, seriously) and make enough money to buy her beloved English manor back from the possible groom. But she meets a lovely Irishman...has a run of bad luck...makes some wonderful friends...and finally faces a brutal truth--as does the Irishman.I really enjoyed this tale. I laughed many times, namely over the "dancing girl" fiasco. I warmed to many of the characters--the maid, Stella, Jack, Ben, and of course, Quinn. I became frustrated with them too--Quinn's refusal to practice what's he meant to do, Gwen's refusal to let go of her manor. I felt as though I was living the characters' lives right along side, the sign of a superb historical novel.And I feel there's a moral in the end. Why strive to be what you yourself hate? And--oh, here's another--just what really makes a lady? Or a gentleman for that matter? The story shows how a titled and wealthy man can be a rogue while a miner can have the warmest heart.Action: in abundance. Romance: keeps readers delightfully on their toes. Humor: just the right amount. Historical setting: well done.
Loved this book. The characters are so real, and it's the kind of book you can just curl up in bed with, on a cold night - or on the sofa with chocolate. The heroine, Guinevere, is British aristocracy in New Zealand, but she's feisty and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. Quinn is an Irishman who hates the English. He clashes all the time with Guinevere, but there's an obvious spark there, even if it's against his better judgement. The minor characters all play their part too - Zana, would love a sequel about Jack and Stella. A lovely, lovely read.
