Achieve My Life Untold Articulated By S.S. Gee Buro Listed As Paper Copy

memoir

Thus sorry is a poignant telling of a young woman's life in Gettysburg before, during, and long after the Civil War.
I really wanted to like this book, but all of the grammatical errors and other syntax issues made it very clear that it was self published, I liked the characters but just couldnt get past all the errors, The daughter of German immigrants, Magda, discovers true love when her father employs new farm hand, Lars, Their feelings for each other are mutual, but she has another admirer in Samuel, the son of an affluent man, But when Lars enlists, Magda has bigger things to worry about than Samuel's unrequited love or at least thinks she has, . . as events unfold and she discovers there are no limits to what she won't do for the man she loves,
Some stories are a quick read, others are best savoured and 'My Life Untold' falls into the latter group,
The authors storytelling and ability to create a scene are so vivid and engrossing that it's almost impossible to put the book down, Suffice to say there are only four books that have made me physically shed tears Black Beauty read as a child, Animal Farm read as a teenager, The Bridges of Madison County and now My Life Untold.

If I could rate itI would but alasit is,
Read this book! This book took place in the latter part of theth century and it begins with a family boarding the boat to America from Germany.
Buro's writing style propelled my into lives of this family, The level of description is is just right to enable me "live" the scene with the characters, This book is exceptionally well written, I will be recommending this book to my family, This historical novel kept my interest, It read like an actual true story, I wish it would of been even more in depth with it's descriptions and characters, It was a quick read, My Life Untold. S. S. Gee Buro.

Jeannie Zelos Book s,

Sometimes I like a dip into history, This particular book reads like an autobiography, as its told from the viewpoint of Magda, as a narrative to her descendent Winifred, Its a beautifully written story, easy to read and not bogged down in weighty, dull descriptions but has scenes that are vivid, and made me feel as if I was there.
It starts with Magda as a young child, goes on to the familys journey to a new start on Stone Farm and her childhood time there, They have a farmhand Lars who is only a few years older than Magda and they fall in love, The Civil war intervenes though, and Lars is taken prisoner, We read about Magda's life back at the farm at this time, how the village coped, what life was really like then on a day to day basis.

When her parents have died and she finds out Lars is a prisoner, she determines she'll travel themiles to where he is, dressed as a soldier for some safety, and try to buy him free.
She undertakes a perilous journey, and its fascinating to read about it and feel as though we're there with her, Its full of minutiae that makes it come alive, Magda learns a lot about herself on this journey, and she and Lars come through the war whole but not unscathed, Though still deeply in love, they're not the same people they started, Life shapes us all and they were certainly well tried,
I loved this story as something with historical accuracy, and yet penned for the reader of fiction who wants small details of daily life, and not weighty explanations of battle tactics : I felt for Magda she faced so much for love of Lars, and they both grew up suddenly faced with the atrocities of war.
Life wasn't easy anyway for people like them at that time, but throw in a war and they were really tested, and yet in the way of the best true love stories they came though shining.
Its a beautiful, heartfelt tale and the addition of the linking up Magda and Lars to the current family was a great way to finish, Fabulous escape into history.
Stars: five, great read,

The books started off a little slow, but definitely wasn't boring, recounting the early years of the main character, Magda's, life, Within a few chapters it had set up relationships and characters that had me in love and I found it very difficult to stop reading and put the book down.


Although the story reads like a typical historical romance, it's so much more than the average romance novel, The book had plenty of context and plot that filled it out and made me feel like a whole life happened around the story, I couldn't have asked for more from the plot, There was even a twist that I didn't see coming,

The ending wasn't as happy as I'd hoped it would be but I don't want to spoil the exact ending, It definitely was satisfying and I think it was an accurate portrayal of the aftermath of the events,

S. S. Gee Buro's My Life Untold is an interesting indie pub, It has a few rough spots, but generally speaking, I feel it speaks very well of authors Sean and Sarah,

What exactly do I mean by rough spots Well, the story meanders through a lot of superfluous backstory before finding its feet, It isn't bad material so don't go grabbing up your torch and pitchforks just yet, all I'm saying is elements like the pocket watch incident and Magda's relationship with Irenka have no real significance to the primary plot.
They're interesting enough, but they drag down the pacing and feel disconnected when considered alongside the central storyline,

The ending is similarly incohesive, Rushed and overflowing with an abundance of surplus, I again felt there was room to cut the fat, I know it's easy to get wrapped up in a story when you're putting it to paper, but there is a lot to be said for knowing when to stop.
When it gets down to it, it's good to remember that less is more,

Now that being said, the middle was actually quite satisfying, I might have liked to see a bit more character development, but the course of events that follow Magda's arrival at Stone Croft are wonderfully imagined and thoroughly enjoyable.
Sean and Sarah's straightforward and unapologetic descriptions of the battle of Gettysburg, its aftermath, and the conditions of the Andersonville prison camp were brilliantly authentic and I really appreciate how they were able to illustrate such iconic episodes of American history through the eyes of a civilian standing witness to the Civil War.


My Life Untold isnt perfect, but it is certainly worth looking into, The authors have room to grow, but their efforts show real promise and it will be very interesting to see where they choose to take their readers in the future.
This is a poignant, extremely wellcrafted tale set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, We follow Magda as she arrives with her parents in New York from Germany and undergoes the hardship of immigrant existence, The family eventually moves to a farm in Gettysburg, and the events of Magda's life unfold amidst the horrors and tribulations of war, Her own personal lovestory her love for Lars, the farm hand, always under threat from Samuel, the rich man's son infatuated with her, and the other numerous tragedies and joys of family love, are expertly portrayed within the greater drama taking place around her.
A story you just can't put down, My Life Untold by S, S Gee Buro is a fast paced, exciting love story about survival during the American Civil War, It was a great read and I found it hard to put down once I started reading the book,

The author is an excellent story teller, weaving a tail of love and survival which was well thoughtout and developed, The story was deep but it was also easy to follow, Having been to many of the sites talked about in the book it made the story come alive and captured my imagination,

I really enjoyed the characters, They were very believable and easy to relate to, S. S. Gee Buro did a great job of developing them and relating them to the storyline,

This was an excellent read and I really enjoyed it,

I highly recommend My Life Untold by S, S. Gee Buro.
