Thanks to Connie Davis for her review of "Sinful Folk An absolute "Must Read"!
I read it without stopping as soon as I got it loaded on my Kindle! What a terrific read, and this from a person who is not a fan of historical fiction, mainly because it often has so many inaccuracies. For me, too, the measure of a compelling read is that I continue to think about it long after I have closed the book, and in this case, I have thought of it often.
There were parts where I thought if one more brutal thing happened to Miriam/Mear I couldn't bear it. To accept the plausibility of her treatment (and that of others like the character Nell), I had to remind myself of how harsh life was then, how brutal. I had to remind myself of the prevailing ignorance of people, how filled with superstition many were, and what a truly perilous time it was.
I loved it all, and loved spending my time in that strange and distant era, and got a wonderful education while being thoroughly entertained. Can't ask for more than that! -- Connie Davis ( Review posted at https://www.facebook.com/SinfulFolk )

I have a couple of days off in between jobs, so I'm using the time to catch up on books, writing, and book cataloguing. Fun! (Also, I have a new blog, so I'm adding my GoodReads list there, and figured I should have it updated -- http://nedhayes.com ) Hope you are doing well. All the best to you, -- Ned.
