I have had the Tory Widow for so long, but with school and mandatory overtime at work I ended up just barely squeeking in finishing Anne Merrick for the tour date - nevermind Tory Widow! I too haven't read much from the Revolution either, but love it so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-80923803424964635442012-02-28T17:45:45.998-05:002012-02-28T17:45:45.998-05:00I read the books in order, and actually think that...I read the books in order, and actually think that it helps you appreciate Jack and Anne's relationship in this book to see where they came from.

I make myself read in order (I'm such a nerd!). I've read quite a bit about the civil war but not so much set during the revolutionary war. Love the cover for this one too :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819241852604884460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-65475348476089642102012-02-28T13:36:52.606-05:002012-02-28T13:36:52.606-05:00The cover instantly catches my attention - there i...The cover instantly catches my attention - there is something magical about a person who is standing and having their clothing whip around them by a force of nature!<br /><br />I do not read much historical fiction - beyond the "bodice-ripping" ones ;) - and the ones I do pick up don't really tempt me to find more. I admit though that I try to dive into British, Spanish, or French history - and maybe what I should really do is start with my homeland!<br /><br />The American Revolution always seems to be fascinating - I instantly think of Ann Rinaldi's books which I adored when I was younger. I like strong women characters, and this one sounds like she can hold her own. I am impressed that both sides get the same loving attention to detail - and you can also feel sympathetic to the British soldiers.<br /><br />How cool that you recognized Nathan Hale! I don't think that I would have, but I know how it feels to find some small personal gem inside a story (for me, reading books about Iowa towns that I live/d in). Awesome! :)<br /><br />I will have to check out this book! If I enjoy it, thank you for pointing me in the right direction of American historical fiction :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446862423234144625noreply@blogger.com
