When finally Zoe married Nigel instead of Sebastian, she's marry for love and ready to have a ... morehappy family as Nigel partner. But Nigel treat her like nobleman treat his wife. He hides all his pain and problems by himself and close off everytime tragedy happen.
review 2: I've got to first start this review by mentioning that it is quite a rarity I read historical fiction, whether it be romance or not, I think my last historical was Outlander and before that Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell!Well all I can say is WOW, I absolutely loved this book from start to finish and it is the FIRST book I have EVER read set in the 1920's.God I loved Zoe! What a breath of fresh air she must have been! Everyone pretty much drawn to her magnetic outrageous ways. What I think impressed me the most is how Sharon absolutely time warped back to the 1920 and I could envisage everything! I could see the water inside the building from the cold and damp, I could see the plane with it's stilts, I could see the fields and lake surrounding Brideswell. I was jiving in the speakeasys and I was often reeling from the way Zoe was often suppressed.This book put me through many emotions but I honestly did not expect to be bawling my eyes quite like I did at a certain part. Oh my Lord I felt every single element of Zoe and Nigel dripping off the pages which matched my eyes when that happened.I am definitely going to be reading more from the pen of Sharon Page, as by crikey this woman knows how to pen a first class read. Her writing is world class as far as I am concerned, she had done her research, the vernacular used was also an aide in transporting me through time, the idiosyncrasies of some of the characters were perfect and the whole deliverance of this what can only be described as a mini saga was brilliant in my eyes.I loved every minute of my time with An American Duchess. I was so lucky to receive a copy of this book (thanks Chas ☺) in return for an honest review. My reviews are my own and are 100% honest. less
