BOOK BY: Jennifer L. Wright
What a fantastic book!
This book I read in two sittings, only because I started reading it late one evening.
Kathleen McDaniel returns home in 1900 after graduating from a finishing school in Switzerland. It becomes quickly apparent that plans have been set in motion to destroy any future she may have had. She runs as far from the north as she possibly can and finds refuge on the Texas island of Galveston.
This story has everything historical fans love – rich story world immersed in historical detail so as to not overwhelm; vivid descriptions that pull readers back in time; set against a time when things we understand now were just beginning to be discovered. All of this, threaded with intrigue and a slow-burn romance.
There is depth of story, of characters (both main and secondary), and a layer of emotion that keeps the pages turning until the very end.
I quite enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from Jennifer L. Wright.
I received a copy of the book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
