Laura
Frantz has done it again. Just when I don’t think she can’t out do the previous
book she goes and proves me wrong. Even though this one is outside her
historical wheel house, it still has Laura’s one of a kind writing style. As
you read you can tell that she took the time to research the time period as she
does with all her novels before she put pen to paper.
Having
been to the Jamestown it’s easy to picture the setting and with my love of
history it’s easy to put in the historical time period. But a James Town
setting isn’t something I’ve read before in fiction before and when movies try
to do it they get it historically wrong. Like previous novels Laura write the Indigenous
people’s with truth and grace.
Xander
the hero of this novel while not perfect no hero can be, but he is a man of
faith, honor and his conviction. They you can see throughout the novel. I think
he has become my favorite hero of hers, sorry Seamus. And Selah the heroine is
Laura’s most unique to date and not just because of her. She’s strong willed
and has a mind of her own. Especially when’s she says she won’t be a tobacco
widow. I’ve heard the term heard it growing up but never seen written in a
book. But most importantly she has a heart of gold.
There’s
a scene that I don’t want to give to much a way but Laura writes it such
emotion that you feel what Xander is going through, that all tobacco farmers
feared even in to the 20th century. As well some of my favorite lines that
Laura has written in this novel. Tidewater Bride will stay with me for a
while.
