Thank you! I’m getting a little evangelical about this one. I loved everything about it. A brilliant woman who, without her brother’s belief in her, would likely have died young as a maid in her mother’s house. The 1700s!

I’m just getting back into Historical Fiction and must look into this one. Your blog looks beautiful btw.

Exactly! And at that time in history?! The 1700s- the odds were that she should have died a house servant and would have, if not for her brother.

I’ve seen it around, but have not taken the time to read much about it; such a lovely review (as always) and I’m definitely interested.

Like Sarah, I’ve had a hard time with historical fiction recently, but this sounds like one with serious potential.

It was wonderful to see Lina grow into her own, despite all the hardship that she faced throughout her life.

Thank you! This book was so perfect in every way and I want to make as much noise about it as possible. Profound and exquisite.

AND – what about that cover of Answered Prayers?!! That’s amazing! How’s it going so far?

I can’t wait to read it.
