1.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment......
Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2020

I had read Victoria Clayton's "Moonshine" some time ago and really enjoyed it. When I saw that Amazon had more of her books at a very reasonable price I ordered "Running Wild". Big mistake. I did not find the characters likable and the story went way off track with the description of the hand fasting of the white witch and her German suitor. Not sure I will be trying any more of Ms Clayton's writings

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Running Wild

I was so pleased with this book. It stated it was used so was a little worried just how used it would look, but it was immaculate. You could have put it on the shelf in the bookshop. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite of the lot.

I am a huge fan of Victoria Clayton's books, and have gone to great lengths to get all of them. I love most of them although one or two I wouldn't bother to read again. This is the third time I've read RUNNING WILD and it is the favorite of the lot. She is a brilliant writer and the descriptions, dialog, characters, plot -- well the whole thing is so well done. It may be British chick lit but it is chick lit of a very elevated degree, as well as suitable for old women (not your teen bopper or millennial soppy stuff) and extremely literate as well. I am really disappointed that STORMY WEATHER seems to be the last book, and that was only available on KINDLE. Kindle is OK I guess but I get frustrated reading from a device, particularly in bed at night, and I think that one misses a lot of little details which we absorb almost without knowing it -- it sort of osmoses from the page in a weird sort of way.

There are some memorable characters in this book; in fact I cannot think of a single dud with the exception of Alex -- who Elfrida ("Freddie") is more than generously kind to, at least in her thoughts.

I wish her books weren't so hard to get in the US. I wish she would write another................

4.0 out of 5 stars Romance, an appealing heroine and eclectic characters
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013

I really enjoyed "Out of Love" but am puzzled how to describe "Running Wild". It is an odd book, part parody, part undergraduate discussion and part romance, filled with odd characters. Quite apart from an abusive lover, there is the nudist witch, the neo Nazi group, the rural yokel s speaking a semi-obscure dialect, the posh folks from the manor, and various star-crossed lovers.
Set in 1977, this novel is a peculiar mix of dated and contemporary. I can't help thinking it was written in the seventies and revised for publication later. Nonetheless it is extremely well written, and despite some quibbles kept my interest throughout. The heroine, Freddie, has a few flaws but has the strength to stand up to an abusive lover and learn from the experience. I found her quite appealing, even though she seemed hopelessly naïve in the beginning.
Like anything of Victoria Clayton's that I have read, there are lots of allusions to art, music and literature, and various philosophical discussions on the nature of love and faith. But not all is culture. A very real love of gardens and country landscape also shines through. So, for romance, an appealing heroine, and eclectic characters, try this one.

It's rare to find a romance that's literate, complex and wise but this is that book. Full of descriptions of a beautiful countryside, a variety of characters, and lots of humor, this is a book I've read and reread. One of Clayton's best -- and that's really high praise!

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance or Comedy ?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2006

I loved this book. Maybe the characters are conventional - beautiful heroine,sinister lover,daffy friends and noble hero but that is all part of the charm of the story. I enjoyed the sly traces of everything from A Comedy of Errors to Cold Comfort Farm, and parts of it made me laugh out loud.This is escapist fiction at its best, and definitely a book to be kept and reread whenever you feel a bit down(just like her other books)

It is better than chocolate.
