review 1: I very much enjoyed this book, and have already added her previous two titles to my 'need to read' list. Gunning has an intriguing yet easy to read style. She brought me in to Boston during the birth of a nation through the everyday people that were simply trying to live during a difficult time. Her ability to use language that could have been of the time but never felt awkward to read was impressive. I admired the main character Jane and she's someone I would be proud to have as a friend. Gunning created a strong woman whose actions were her own but fit within the time period in which the novel takes place. Well done!
review 2: Ms. Gunning's books make you feel as if you are living in the 1700s. Richly detailed and alive with famous persons of the era. Henry ... moreKnox, bookseller and ammunition expert. Hero of Ticonderoga.[I have always been a little in love with him.]There is James Otis, tortured genius, and John and Quincy and Samuel Adams very much alive and human!And of course there is Jane, our struggling heroine, trying to make her way in the world apart from her Father. She is going through the trials of Boston as the Revolution was blossoming.She makes her own mark on this new country and becomes a happier, more complete person in doing so. I really enjoyed this book! less
