My Book Reviews

This was an excellent read and the historical background has been extremely well researched. Set in Elizabethan England - and also in war-torn France, and including reference to the tragedy of the Huguenots - the story is compelling and I couldn't put it down. It's easy to think one would love to live in those times... but no! One wouldn't!

What I particularly enjoyed in this book was the pace. At no point does the author linger and attempt to bore us with irrelevancies.

I won a beautiful copy of 'The Dartington Bride" in a Goodreads draw, much to my …

Incredibly fascinating story. well researched and written in a manner that kept me very entertained. I’m Im always very interested in reading how women’s life’s were in different time periods and this story really gave me a lot of insight. Highly recommend! Thanks netgalley and publisher for this arc in exchange of an honest review.

I really enjoyed this historical fiction book, it had everything that I was looking for and thought the description element worked with everything that I was hoping for. The characters felt like they were supposed to in this setting. I was hooked from the cover and thought the way it was written was perfect. I’m excited to read more from Rosemary Griggs and glad I read this.
