I believe Emily would make a fantastic movie for sure!

I have loved reading Emily. It has had such an impact on my life. It has made me laugh, cry, appreciate the ANZACs and treasure the ones I love. It has brought healing to my life. There are many scenes in this book that have touched my life! I feel the love being poured out of every page.

Grandma Ruby has been such an inspiration to me as a grandmother, reminding me of the importance to teach my grandchildren all I can to prepare them for the future.

I have learned to appreciate nature more…getting out amongst nature and enjoying all the beauty that is around me.

It has given me the courage to dream and to follow my heart.

I have read the original copy of Emily seven times and I am currently reading the nerevised edition for the second time. I have found every time I read Emily it touches my life in a deeper way. There is so much to learn from it. It holds many gems within its pages. It is a book that can be read over and over as it is so uplifting.

I am really looking forward to reading Margaret’s next book!! I am a fan of Margaret!

I have just finished reading Emily by Margaret Ann Loveday and needed the tissues tonight. What a beautiful story of an Amazing Emily and her GGrandmother and new family. Intuitive, love, faith, determination and much more from someone so young. Highly recommended.

Even though I have enjoyed reading the first edition of this book a few times, and I have read the PDF of the revised edition, as well, I decided to download the revised edition of Emily, to experience again, the updated version.

The new edition has the same storyline with a development of the characters, and dialogue, enhancing even more, the pleasure of the reader.

The author has a message of love and its healing power throughout its pages utilising the main characters Emily, Grandma Ruby, Nick and Dimmy to drive this home; their lives weaving together beautifully as they walk through their journeys.

The storyline is brilliant; there are so many messages of humanistic facets to draw from, like a deep well, lots of heart abounds. The unique freshness and uplifting nature of this book, makes this a most beautiful story of triumph over adversity. It is full of miracles, mystery and adventure amongst the Australian beach and bush, touching on environmental issues and the love of nature, and sprinkled with gems of wisdom, good values and life changing principles, that it could even be called a self-help book.

The novel lives up to its subtitle which is “Love: capture your heart, appreciate life and believe for the impossible’. It is filled with love, it is very moving, and touches the heart, (even though I have read it a few times), it definitely helps the reader to appreciate the simple things in life, leaving us feeling uplifted and hopeful in our own lives.

I highly recommend this lovely book, as a must read for everyone from youth to mature, it is a treasure worth the time to read and absorb its energy and life force, and I can’t wait for Margaret’s next book.
