Simply Marvelous Read

I just finished "Cinnamon Wharf" and I think that the publishers are really missing out by not reprinting these wonderful hard to find classics by Janice Young Brooks. I devoured this book in one day - something I haven't been doing a lot of lately with more popular authors. Now, I would say that "Cinnamon Wharf" doesn't quite live up to "Guests of the Emporer" or "Seventrees" in my heart. However, it is still a novel of a caliber that is hard to find. I can still taste the salty air of the waves crashing against the cliffs at Castlemere and smell the Rosemary. The characters come alive, they are so three dimensional that I got lost in the book. They felt more like friends than fictional characters. I know it sounds cliche but I laughed out loud, I cried with them... I felt like a fly on the wall of a wonderful life. If you can find this novel it is well worth it!

Historical Romance At It's Best

Cinnamon Wharf is one of my favorite books. I've read it numerous times and each and every time that I read it I enjoy it even more. Janice Young Brooks creates a very believable portrait of Victorian gentry, and the travel chapters in the novel are simply fascinating, and very well researched I might add. The Beecham's are a family you will want to get in touch with again and again. Don't shy away from the listing of "romance novel" it's worthy of a much more distinguished categorical identity.~Rosemary for Remembrance~
