Evaluate Containing Books Devil Water

I have a love-hate relationship with this book. On the one hand, I found the story (meaning the plot and characters) fascinating, and moreso because it is based on real people and real events. I found myself looking multiple things up on Wikipedia during each sitting. And yet... it was an INCREDIBLY slow read. It kept putting me to sleep. Partly because it seemed to drag on and on - events seemed to take far more pages than needed (spoiled by the internet much?) and ... I don't know, I guess I

On Good reads we all have our little quirks as readers. One of mine is that when I settle down with a book unless its a favourite author I'm expecting at least a 3* read. For me thats a good, but not memorable read. Even though I'm not the slightest bit mathematically inclined. I have a little line graph in my head until I settle on my final rating.This is a book where the graph looked like the Swiss Alps until I ended up back where I started at 3*For me, a big part of the problem was when the

The Jacobite revolution has always been confusing to me, and I was looking forward to this book to clarify things. When it comes to historical fiction, Anya Seton is the real deal, and this romantic tale, filled with authentic characters in early Georgian England and Colonial America is sometimes slow moving, but always informative.

History of lesser known Jacobite family, fantastic! I had been curious about the Jacobite efforts to restore "the pretender" to the throne of England, wondering why James the Third did not reign. The family described and fictionalized (for purposes of a readable novel) here was caught in that destiny, helplessly. The generational scope was intriguing and engrossing, attesting to the tragedy of the history that many people have forgotten. Carefully constructed, and simultaneously easy to read,

I am so pleased that this author's novels are being reprinted, I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them, especially Katherine. This is a fascinating tale, based upon the Radcliffs of Derentwater (Devil Water), staunch catholics and loyal to the Stuart cause, and descended from Charles II via the wrong side of the blanket. Charles Radcliff, the younger brother has a secret marriage to a lower born woman who gives birth to the love of his life, his daughter Jenny. The story takes you

This is the tale primarily of Charles Radcliffe who was a Catholic Englishman who supported the Jacobite cause in the 1700s. This novel is well researched and tells of the lives of many historical figures of that time.Sometimes it got a little too descriptive and I simply skimmed a bit when that happened, but I have to say the ending was amazing and had me in tears. If you love Outlander and just great historical novels, I can't imagine you wouldn't enjoy this!

Once again, Anya Seton does not fail to engross. I completely forgot to take any notes for my review because I was so engaged in this tale. I always appreciate her novels because she is an author who knows how to fully research her storyline.
