by Sally Gunning |
Praise For This Book |
"Merging historical fact with riveting fiction ... This is historical fiction at its best; highly recommended." - Library Journal (starred review) "Provocative ... Gunning infuses the story with suspense and intrigue [and] resists easy generalizations and stereotypes." - Publishers Weekly "Readers will be swiftly turning the pages, eagerly cheering for the strong-willed widow." - Booklist "Heartrending ... Gunning's vibrant portrayal of Lyddie's journey shows that the pursuit of happiness is not for the faint of heart." - Boston Globe "Gripping, romantic, historically sound, and completely satisfying...I'll be surprised if I read a better historical novel this year." - Historical Novels Review (The Historical Novel Society); "Editor's Choice" |
