What a truly splendid read.

.....a book that was hard to put down

I do not read much by way of novels or fiction of any kind but this book is on a different level. Rosemary has taken facts, extensively and carefully researched, and woven a ‘what might have been’ story around what is known. The detail of her writing and the way the story was woven around truth and developed into over 400 pages of intrigue and a ‘longing to know what happened next’ contributed to a book that was hard to put down. The detail of her researches and the way the facts have been used in her book are quite …

Oh my goodness!
I have just finished this remarkable book, I don't remember ever enjoying a novel so much. Because of that I dreaded coming to the end.
Thank you so much for the pleasure this read has given me.

Fascinating account of life in Tudor Devon

April 15, 2022, 9:41 a.m. A review for 'A Woman of Noble Wit', by Trevor Jones

I bought a copy of your book at Smiths in Newton Abbot a week or two ago, My wife and I both really enjoyed it, I read the Kindle version,
Really engaged with Katherine-Kate and her ups and downs.
Have to admit I found it difficult at times keeping up with all the people but that’s just me. 😄
A fascinating account of life in Tudor Devon, all the local places gave it an extra air of reality.
Thanks for recreating this world for us.
Must have taken an awful lot of research
