Jan. 30, 2022, 11:30 a.m. A review for 'A Woman of Noble Wit', by Christine.........The author has created a compelling woman with a strong feeling of loyalty towards her family. ........well embedded in historical events of the time
A well-written and interesting novel! We all know the name of Walter Raleigh, an explorer under Elizabeth I 's reign. What about his mother?
A Woman of Noble Wit, by Rosemary Griggs.
Not much is known about Katherine, Walter's mother. The author has created a compelling woman with a strong feeling of loyalty towards her family. However, this did not come at a cheap price! .....
I enjoyed this novel very much, as it is well embedded in historical events of the time, her family, the religious conflicts, life of privateers (or were they pirates?), all meticulously researched. Evocative descriptions of Devon countryside brought a fitting atmospheric touch to the novel. Highly recommended!
