The Convicts Wife -Book Review

The Convicts Wife is Book 1 in a new historical saga series by author Libby Ashworth.

This book is based on real life events and focuses on falsely accused Thomas Holden,who is transported to Australia and his Wife and daughter Molly and Annie,who are at home in England..

My favourite character Molly,she always tries to stay positive even when the odds were stacked against her.All the characters felt real,I must say I kept feeling quite frustrated at Thomas’s character as he kept asking for things,then either not wanting them,or complaining that things arrived too late,so I felt quite sorry for Molly.

I loved the bit in the book when Molly started gaining independence and earning her own money,and felt with her the pride,when she achieved what many thought not possible.

All in all I loved the story and it made the story more poignant as it was based on true events.

The only thing I really disliked about this book was the character of Issac Crompton,but I think this was the author’s intention and full credit to the author’s writing abilities to create such an abhorrent character.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes women’s saga’s ,and I found it a fantastic read and I’m looking forward to reading book 2.

Bookworm rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fate,Love and Magazines!!

Fate,Love and Magazines!! Love by Design by Effie Kammenou Love by Design is book 2 in the Meraki Series.Although this book is in a series it can be read as a standalone novel. The book focuses on Mia Andarakis ,who has recently been promoted to work on a new magazine called Opul,and her relationship with magazine editor Nicholas Aristedis. My favourite characters were Mia and Nicholas,the characters were very well rounded and I really felt both characters as they had both gone through trauma in their lives. I loved the twist in the middle of the book which connected the lives of Mia and Nicholas,as well as the flashback chapters concerning what had made them the people they had become. I think the scenes written around Nicholas’s grief were well written,and grief can totally destroy you and I really felt for Nicholas. The book was a brilliant piece of romantic escapism,yet tackled some really difficult issues with some harrowing scenes. There wasn’t one thing I disliked about th...

Huxley vs his parents,but who knows best!!

This Much Huxley Knows by Gail Aldwin - Review Huxley vs his parents,who knows best!! This book is a standalone novel written by Gail Aldwin.The story is told through the eyes of 7 year old Huxley.When Huxley means Leonard at the hairdresser,Huxley just sees him as a lonely man,but his parents have other ideas. My favourite character was Huxley,I loved his childhood innocence and how he views the world.All the characters are very well rounded and the reactions of the adults are sadly only too believable in this day and age. My favourite part of the book is when Huxley is proved right,and I loved the way the book gets the reader to think like a child and how differently children see things in the world The only thing I struggled with in the book was when Huxley pronounces words wrong on purpose,i found it hard to relate to this part of the story,and didn’t quite understand the relevance of this,maybe this is just me and I couldn’t quite get into the brain of a 7 year old. I ...
