"So evocative that it verges on poetic." #OleannaVirtualTour visits Let Them Read Books

The last stop of the Oleanna virtual tour brings us to Let Them Read Books, where Jenny has some really lovely things to say!

"It's not often you'll hear me complain that a book is too short, but in this case, I liked it so much that I wanted more...Oleanna is more than enough to carry the story on her own, the setting is fresh and inspiring, and the love story is both tender and tumultuous. I was also very impressed with Ms. Rose's ability to write honestly and naturally and yet so evocatively that it verges on poetic. And her author's note at the end cinched it for me with an old letter that brought tears to my eyes, a sweet homage to the natural magic of the land that had such a hold on Oleanna. Oleanna was a very different read for me, and very satisfying, and one I would recommend to anyone looking for a change of pace in historical fiction.
She's also hosting an international giveaway, which ends on April 19.

"characters that will stay with you long after you finish the book" #OleannaVirtualTour visits Oh, for the Hook of a Book!

Erin from Oh, for the Hook of a Book! has reviewed Oleanna, and says,
"Oleanna is a novel that will slowly seep into your subconscious as you read it, provoking at first angst, frustration, and emotional sadness that will leave you breathless, then giving you encouragement and strength as you draw fortitude from the cast of characters that will most certainly stay with you long after you finish the book."
She also hosted a very in-depth (and very fun!) interview—complete with my family's Norwegian Waffles recipe! Plus, she's hosting an international giveaway of Oleanna (through April 23).

"...beautiful, lyrical writing." The #OleannaVirtualTour visits Peeking Between the Pages!

Dar at Peeking Between the Pages has reviewed Oleanna as part of the virtual book tour (which is a blast so far!) and she has some wonderful things to say about the book!

Oleanna by Julie K. Rose is quite simply a beautifully written book. The story was inspired by the author’s great-great aunts and takes place in Norway in 1905. This novel paints such a vivid picture of life at this time in history and you feel drawn in from the very first page. You feel the hardships, love, loss, loyalty and family that flow from the pages of this book all the while feeling haunted by the shadows of ghosts past. I don’t often turn the last page of a book and want to go right back to the beginning but that’s how this novel has made me feel with all the beautiful passages and the quiet but deep and touching tale.
 Dar is also offering a giveaway copy of Oleanna (open internationally); enter by April 20!

"You do not want to pass up this sweeping novel!" #OleannaVirtualTour Visits The Lit Bitch

The Lit Bitch has reviewed Oleanna as part of the Oleanna Virtual Book Tour, and gives it 4 of 5 stars!
I was astonished at the breathtaking use of setting! Norway sounds absolutely stunning! The flourishing landscapes, forest, and lake all drew me in and made me feel like I was reading about a place both foreign and familiar at the same time. But the novel isn’t just about a refreshing setting, it’s a novel about love, loss, and a woman’s journey to find peace within herself...You do not want to pass up this sweeping novel!

Plus, she was kind enough to let me ramble on in response to her awesome interview questions, and is hosting a giveaway.

Tomorrow's stop on the tour is a review and giveaway at Peeking Between the Pages!

An "absolutely beautiful story": #OleannaVirtualTour visits So Many Books, So Little Time


The second stop on the Oleanna Virtual Book Tour is at So Many Books, So Little Time, and the review is just lovely. Here's a snip:

I was very surprised by what an absolutely beautiful story Oleanna is.  The writing is superb and every last character is well-developed and unique...I really enjoyed the author's description of the fjords of Norway.  I am not familiar with Norway at all so it was new and exciting for me. 

Big thanks to Denise for the review, and for hosting me this Thursday, when I'll have a guest blog on bunad!
