Book Description

Excerpt from Like a Sister, Vol. 1 of 3 There was nothing to alarm him, however. Only two peasant women, toiling up the steep uneven steps, their garments set in full sail by the wind, which threatened to catch them sideways and blow them into the sea every minute. But being natives, and consequently knowing every phase of the elements, there was no such danger to be apprehended. In winter and spring no one dared attempt this dangerous short cut; now it was just safe enough to risk one's neck for the chance of two good miles cut off the road, as the elder woman remarked to her companion.
