A story you won't forget.

I downloaded The Bloodletter's Daughter on a whim one day. I liked how the synopsis sounded, so I figured I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did. The writing style, story, and everything else involved in the telling of a good tale is in this book. Worth a read if you enjoy historical fiction.
