Not by Sight is
author Kate Breslin’s sophomore novel and it did not disappoint. Taking place during World War I this novel
deals with spies, suffragettes, and gives us a brief history on the Women’s
Forage Corps. From the beginning this
book took an interesting turn and I was very excited to see what path Ms. Breslin
would take us on for the final resolution.
I enjoyed both of the main characters, Grace Mabry and Jack Benningham,
especially Grace’s quick wit and retorts.
I understood both of their plights and so wanted them to have a sit down
talk, but knew that really would not be possible. The title of the novel fits the story in so
many ways. This story was filled with
intrigue, a romance simmering just below the surface, the importance of
friendship, and plenty of action and mystery to keep me turning the pages. Kate Breslin has a way of telling stories during
very serious times in history with a bit of a fairy tale quality, masks and
labryinths included. I look forward to
more of her storytelling. I received a
copy for an honest review from Bethany House Publishers and the opinions are my
own.
