review 1: I like reading historical fiction. I learn about events/countries/cultures that I didn't know existed, or know very little about. When I was in Bermuda last year, I found out that the British shipped prisoners of war from the Boer War to Bermuda. I was looking for something to read recently, I came across this title. This book gives information and insight into that conflict from the perspective of a 12 year old Boer girl. Very well written and thought provoking. Highly recommended.
review 2: As a writer of historical fiction, I loved the tremendous research that was evident on every single page of this lovely book. I hadn't known much about the Boer perspective on the Boer War, and Trilby Kent opened my eyes in a natural and compelling way. I was drawn to ... moreCorlie and her difficult situation, and the relationships and motivations in the book rang true. It was a hard time and there were many horrible stories. Kent doesn't flinch from the difficult bits, but this might be a tough read for a very sensitive young reader. less
