Absolutely brilliant! I wonder at Colley’s talent with words!”“The links to family, the events and their consequences on individuals, the resultant effects on their behavior, and the impact on four generations was masterfully done.”“The characterizations are wonderful.”“This is a great book. It is strong, sensitive, well-written, and I love it! It spoke to me on many levels.”“Rupert Colley is such a clever writer who grabs the reader’s attention in the first couple of pages.”“Have just read ‘The Red Oak’, and hardly took a breath. I thoroughly enjoyed every page. You can tell a good author by the way the opening of the book grips you, wants to make you read on, and this story really does all that. Colley made the family so real, it was almost as if we were there with them. A wonderful book.” Views: 13
