Vivienne has already been through so much heartache when she arrives in Philadelphia from Paris. The characters are endearing and distinct, the plot moves at a perfect pace, and the historical details just make everything come to life. I received a review copy from the author and was not required to write a positive review.Ī Refuge Assured is hands down one of my favorite reads of the year so far. I enjoyed this book immensely and look forward to her next book. This book held my attention firmly gripped and it won't be soon forgotten. It's so fascinating the historical facts you can find out with some research and I appreciate the author doing just this. I even found out the Pittsburgh Post Gazette newspaper used to be called the Pittsburgh Gazette when it first started out.
I was especially fascinated to read how the majority of the story took place in my home state of Pennsylvania,it took place in Philadelphia to be exact. The book starts out in late 1700s Paris, France and gives readers a feel of the French Revolution and sets us up with the main character's background from lace making to the story of her mother.
The author writes novels steeped in historical detail so well you will believe you are there with the characters experiencing it, from the descriptions to the sights,sounds,smells and even the characters thoughts. Based on Jocelyn Green writing my favorite Civil War series I knew I was in for a treat reading this and believe me it did not disappoint.
