Addictive

I am a longtime fan of novels that deal with the Polite World. Salem Street surprised me with its engaging plot, memorable characters, and contrasts between strength and frailty of the human spirit. Though hardly a historical romance, you'll fall in love with Annie Gibson and her tale of determination, sacrifice, and empowerment. A must-read for men and women alike!

Author's notes

It's the author speaking (I only put the 5 stars because you had to put something!) and really I'd just like to thank the readers who posted such glowing reviews for their kind words. Salem Street was my first book published as Anna Jacobs, back in 1994 and it's still in print. I've just had my 21st novel published (12 as Anna Jacobs). ....

You'll rush to get the sequel...

This is a wonderfully well-developed work of historical fiction. The characters are interesting, and the storylines are engrossing. When I finished it, I was thrilled to know she had already completed other novels in the series.

Could not put it down!!!

Just finished reading it, and now am looking for the rest in the series. Really great book. Kept you interested the whole way through. Shows you that no matter where you start in life, YOU have the capability to overcome anything! A must read!!

Absolutely Excellant!!

I really loved this book. The story line was engrossing and historically fascinating. As soon as I was finished with it I passed it on and ran to the library hoping to find the second in the series. Unfortunately my local library doesn't have it yet. I would recommend this book to any bookworm! My mom loved it too. Looking forward to reading the entire series!
