Customer Reviews
A Moving and Thought Provoking Story.
I quite enjoyed the story and found it very thought provoking. I have always been a fan of historical fiction and have yearned to know what life in earlier time was really like. This book met those desires. I felt the last 125 pages were especially moving.
My only negative thought was that I don’t believe any book I’ve read in the last 25 years or so had as many typos as this one did. However it did not detract from my enjoyment of the story.
Well written interesting story
