If you are looking for a period drama to take you back to
the past, look no further than the novel, A
Refuge at Highland Hall. This is the
third book in author Carrie Turansky’s Edwardian Brides series and is the first
book I have had an opportunity to read by her.
Going into the third book, I was not sure how not reading the other
stories would affect my enjoyment. When
I first cracked open the book there was a two page list of characters. However, not to be dismayed I started into
the book and was soon caught up with all the doings at Highland Hall during
World War 1. This story follows a couple
of romances and gives readers of the trilogy a chance to catch up with the lives
of the previous characters. This started out a little slow for me but by
the time I got about halfway through I was very caught up in the drama of these
characters and what was happening in their lives. I have read quite a few WW2 stories, but I
believe this may be the first I have read that dealt with WW1. And Ms. Turansky’s attention to historical
detail was quite mesmerizing. I look
forward to more by this new to me author.
I received
this book from Blogging for Books for this review. The opinions stated in this review are my
own.
