The 1929 Series

review 1: Have you ever read a book that you just wanted to devour? That you just could not wait for the turn of the page to find out what happens next? You simply must marathon read so you can get to the next installment? Yeah, that was me, reading this book.The 1920's-1930's is probably my most favorite period of time. I have studied the era intently for many years and am glad the author felt no need to take on the onerous task of rewriting history. Instead choosing to follow where the characters lead her. Yes, there were some details that weren't specific to the era, but this is a work of fiction and the few liberties taken by Mrs. Gardner worked for the story and were by no means unforgivable. The characters are well developed, very personable and extremely human. I found myse... morelf laughing with them, sympathizing with them, and more than once crying with them. Several times I caught myself arguing with a couple of the characters about choices that were being made, I couldn't help myself. I am very glad that I came into this series late because now I don't have to wait for the next one to come out, I can start it tonight! I don't say this lightly, ML Gardner has written a story that has captured my imagination and my heart. Her book reminds me of one of my favorite series, The Clifton Chronicles. Mrs Gardner, you are my new Jeffrey Archer. Highly recommend this series- 5 Stars
review 2: I enjoyed being transported back in time when things were simpler even though in some ways they were more complex. Women and men had very defined roles, which was kind of cool, even if I wasn't fond of those definitions. When the roles must change is when the conflict and story gets interesting. I enjoyed the characters and the plot was intriguing. Sometimes the bad things happened a little too much on top of each other, but there were some good surprises. I look forward to reading more of the series. less
