Carlingford is the name of a town, and the characters in her series all live in the same town, so you will meet them again and again as you read through the series.The book is very sweet and appropriate for bedtime reading. It takes place at a time when women wore bonnets, people traveled by horse and carriage, and a woman's marriage was of consuming concern. If you like Jane Austen, you will probably like this, although of course the dialogue is not quite as clever. The tale involves the local doctor and a feisty young woman he falls in love with. But there is an impediment to their love, and it's one that will drive you insane. The main characters are likeable, well-drawn and delightfully frustrating. I will definitely finish the series.The Carlingford series books in order: The Rector, The Doctor's Family, Salem Chapel, The Perpetual Curate, Miss Marjoribanks, Phoebe, Junior. You might want to download Phoebe, Junior from the Project Gutenberg website using your USB cord (it doesn't show up in the Magic Catalog, for some reason). The edition from this publisher contains a typo in the main character's name that continues throughout the book.For more information about the Magic Catalog, see A Kindle World Blog.

McGinn I didn't know anything about Margaret Oliphant when I started reading this novel, except that she wrote long enough ago that you can find her works for Kindle free on Amazon or Gutenberg.org. I know a little more about her now. She had a difficult life, but like Nettie in this book, she seemed to just get on with it. Three of her six children died in infancy and her husband died young also, leaving her to support her family through her writing. She was popular in her day, even though her name faded, unlike Dickens and Trollope, who wrote around the same time.I agree with K.E. Fuhrmann's review when it states that the dialogue isn't as sharp and witty as Jane Austen, but I like that Nettie is a strong female character, something you don't always find in the classics (though Susan is an irritatingly weak character!)This being a 19th century novel, you will find long paragraphs and passages of descriptions and thought processes of the characters, so this isn't a book to read while watching TV or otherwise dividing your attention. At least I couldn't. Back then there was no TV of course, so authors provided every detail so as to fire up the reader's imagination and place them deep in the story.There are only a few plot twists in this book, so I will not give any of them away. I had an idea what was going to happen, but I write novels myself and probably thought about possible plot development more than some readers. It was a pleasant read overall and I recommend it if you enjoy major and minor classic fiction.The review I mentioned above also contains a list of the books in this series. This book is apparently the second one in the series and I read it first, but I don't expect that to detract from my enjoyment of reading the rest of the series. And speaking of which, now I need to go back and read that first book!

I read them pretty much in reverse order, and now I am going to look for the first one in the series. The Doctor's Family is the second one. It is a "sweet" story, not as complicated as are some of Oliphant's novels with several minor plots in addition to the main one. The "colony" in Australia comes into this story, and that is an interesting factor. I met Dr. Rider in the book entitled Miss Marjoribanks. At that point, he was a married man, but I had no idea that the story of his romance was so complicated. I really want to read an autobiography or biography of Margaret Oliphant' life. I am not sure which book is the best to purchase. I have the book called The Works of Margaret Oliphant, and I read The Doctor's Family in that book. I don't necessarily want to duplicate too many of her books on my Kindle.
