My Review
This was another change in genre for me in this read we sway in to a historical romance yet this read is just as thrilling, compelling and captivatining as any straight up thriller I have read this year.
From the outset I have to commend the amazing cover design. I am a reader at times to judge a book by it cover and this is one that just called to me, just as I feel it will do many from the book stand and shelves.
This read tells the turbulent life of H, set in the seventeeth century and with a glorious mix of characters, place and events this read is utterly compelling.
We first meet H named this as her parents could not think of a name! and are guided through her life from her late childhood as an orphan after the death of her father and her move to london to be raised eventully by her aunt.
We follow H's life and the history of the time in London through the plague, The great fire of London itself both of which H survive but homeless and destitute we see her fight for survival in anyway she can in a city plagued with illness, violence and death.
We witness H rise and I will say no more as i am a no spoliers blog but through the heartache and the sadness we have hope, laughter and heartwarming scenes that left we smiling.
Historic fiction has never been my go to but in widening my reading genres I have truly enjoyed this treat of a read, captivating and beautifully written with wonderful characters and a fantasticly discribed almost haunting era, The author has created a real thriller of a story with history as its setting and I enjoyed every twist and turn.
