Isabella is brought to life brilliantly. <br />I am an author & poet myself, but haven't yet attempted a historical novel. Mine are mainly set in the 1960s & 70s. I have just finished the last in a trilogy which will be published in early 2020.<br />Look forward to keeping in touch.<br />PhilomenaHelen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804142297590807485.post-27391113080566442842019-12-12T22:30:19.708+01:002019-12-12T22:30:19.708+01:00What delightful, unashamed romance, and some wonde...What delightful, unashamed romance, and some wonderful detail.Little Angelic Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636466826438530446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804142297590807485.post-62974108570167705612019-12-12T08:45:54.110+01:002019-12-12T08:45:54.110+01:00Touching.

Characterisation perfect and, yes, those little unimportant details which, once mentioned, become vital to creating the scene - naming the Church, for example, as if we should know where it was.

'Wiping her hands down the side of her dress' is a great detail. I enjoyed the period background - especially the stockings!
