Book Review
A mother’s promise by Dilly Court.
Dilly has been one of my favorite author of historical fiction. I always watch out for her books. She writes amazingly well.
Hetty the heroine of this novel is so brave and adventurous. I could see a bit of myself in her while reading through the lines. Every character in this book was central to the plot.
There were so many themes to learn from this book and I highly recommend it. I reviewed a copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are mine.
