Oh, my goodness! I found "On Angel Mountain" slow and tedious, and nearly gave up on numerous occasions except I wanted to find out how it ended - the last part of the novel was certainly the most exciting. While I did admire the main character, Martha, for her strength and endurance, and enjoyed the descriptions of the Welsh countryside, I couldn't get past the pacing of this book.

I have also discovered that this was the first book in a series of eight! Suffice to say, I won't be bothering with any more. ( )
