Good Monday Morning to you!
Is it time for turkey yet? I’m mostly vegetarian and have been all of my adult life, but I cannot resist a good ol’ fashion Thanksgiving dinner!! Well, this post isn’t about that … ok V focus!!
I will be sharing some of my good reads with you. I like history… a lot… so I love reading about the lives of those lived in other centuries. And it’s always so great to read the author’s notes and find out that the person or persons in the novel were based on actual people.
That was the case in my latest read: Confessions of a Courtesan by Deborah Hale, writing as Elizabeth Charles. Talk about a page turner. It could be found under Historical Fiction, but also I would add Historical Romance too.
It’s about a young woman in 18th century who rises up from living on the filthy streets of London to become one of the most sought after courtesans in England. Her struggles make you think of how awful is was for women back in the day before we stood up for our rights. And I questioned what I would do to survive given the same circumstances.
It’s steamy, sexy, gritty and so compelling. I rooted for Lizzy and at times wanted to sit her down and give her some sane advice! That’s good character development!
The plots are riveting and I couldn’t put it down. If you like this type of novel- check this one out.
Have a good day and a great week!
Peace and Love,
Veronica
