do now?
Review: Rebecca Tingle writes a historical novel based
on real life strong female main character.
Unfortunately the relationships in just story just didn’t draw me in the
way they should have. While it is a good
book it is not fantastic as I would have hoped.
If you like history and love to read, pick it up. This book is not for reluctant readers.
