Thank you Helen!

If
you are a lover of historical fiction, or if like me you've never read
this genre before, then this really is the book for you. I cannot
recommend it highly enough. Packed full of historical fact and
absolutely crammed full of truly believable characters I have to say I
am very much looking forward to the next book. I think I have felt every
emotion going through this amazing story, but what I felt most of all
was the sympathetic way in which Chuck described the lives of some of
the less fortunate in the tale, with Josiah's mum being a prime example.
I also roared with laughter at some bits and welled up at others. I
don't want to say too much about what happens in the book as the
description given on Amazon is ample enough. I would happily read this
book again. It would also make a superb film. Where is Peter Weir? Must
give him the nod on this Josiah chap ! Maybe Josiah Stubb could be the
new 'Sharpe' ? Just a thought.

ReplyDeleteI only started it a couple of nights ago but I'm finding it totally engrossing. From page one I was hooked and my danger us going to be loving it so much, I read too fast and 'waste' it.
ReplyDeleteLonging to have time later to read!!
Thank you, that's so lovely to hear! Here's hoping you get the time to enjoy the book to its fullest. :)
