GOOD read!!

Generally I like my history straight but sometimes fiction, properly researched and well-written can actually give you a better feel for the people, their struggles and their humanity. Mrs Hawke accomplished this very nicely. It is a real page-turner and the woman's perspective gives depth and perspective often missing in laborious battle details. She has done her homework and historical accuracy was not sacrificed in the slighest. I would recommend this to both the serious or casual reader of history.

A real page-turner!

This is the book that puts Lydia Hawke on the map! It is a gripping story and will be made into an independent film soon. You won't regret buying this book, I promise!
