I found the parts about the printing press fascinating, too. And Sally won a place in my heart when she tried to serve Jack 'special' scones... I enjoyed your review. I've linked to it here. Lana’s last blog post..The Tory Widow - Christine Blevins

Thanks Meghan, for such a lovely review!!! I am so happy that you enjoyed TORY.

And to Zibilee: Although MIDWIFE and TORY are both American historical fiction, they are two separate stories with different characters in different geographic locations and time periods. That said, I still think you should read both!

I love historical fiction, and this one sounds really good. Do you think it's necessary to read the first book in order to grasp the storyline in the second? Zibilee’s last blog post..The Neurology of Angels by Krista Tibbs - 284 pages

I want to read more historical fiction this year, and she is definitely an author I'd like to try. Kathy’s last blog post..Blog Talk Radio

I liked this too. I usually don't actually like much romance in my historical fiction but I think Christine does it well and it doesn't bother me in her books. You'd probably be interested in her guest post at my blog about her research, being an historian.

I want to read both of her books. They look good. And bonus that this one is set in NEw York City. Thanks for the offer of help with the blg. I'm still working through some things, but don't be surprised if I have a few questions for you. Nicole’s last blog post..Wondrous Words Wednesday
