Brandy Row edition by Shelagh Mazey Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
One of the main reasons historical fiction is so beloved is because readers can journey to an unusual place and time and immerse themselves with fascinating characters who face adversity. In this regard, Brandy Row really delivers!
Portland is a tiny island south of Dorchester and Weymouth in the English channel. There is a unique flavour and strong culture there. In the 19th century, Portland's tight knit community survived through the smuggling of goods and alcohol. At the heart of the story is a love triangle between a young woman named Violet, her childhood sweetheart, Matthew, and a handsome Customs Officer named Richard Dyer. The plot is further complicated by the hazards of life, sea storms and rescues, and numerous tragedies and injustices.
The author did an outstanding job of bringing to life the uniqueness of the setting and culture of the tiny isle. It is historical accurate and detailed. Written with lovely prose and rich storytelling, this was a totally immersing novel.
Excellent reading. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Felt as if I was there through the whole book. Didn't want it to finish.
