Would I recommend the book? Whole-heartedly and without hesitation. I expected this novel to be well-written and I expected an exhaustive level of research to be evidenced in the final product.

Lady Macbeth (2017)
Lady Macbeth (2017)
2017 | Drama, International
Lady Macbeth is an assured and accomplished piece of filmmaking. Pugh captures the vulnerability versus predatory nature of her character, all the while nurturing a responsive mix of sympathy and disgust from her audience.
Critic- Amie Cranswick
Original Score- 4 out of 5

Whether you know about the black mark on American history known as the "Trail of Tears" or not, this fascinating historical fiction novel will be an excellent way to learn about it (or learn more about it).

Superhot
Superhot
2017 | Fighting
With its homogenous red polygonal villains and pale angular environments, SUPERHOT is a mesmerising combination of basic but highly stylised graphics and deep strategical gameplay that is easy to pick up but very hard to put back down.
Critic- Richard Seagrave
Original Score: 9 out of 10

Moonlight (2016)
2016 | Drama
Moonlight is an important film that is of a good quality – these types of stories need to be told and hopefully with the Best Picture win, more will. The acting across the board is good and impressive ...

It seems everyone wants to be the person to chronicle the victory of the Allied forces taking Paris back from the Nazis. This novel follows two women in their efforts to gain that title. Read what I thought of Meg Waite Clayton's historical fiction novel, The Race for Paris, here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/10/18/women-witnessing-wwii/

I have previously read one of Christobel’s novels - The Crooked House - which although I enjoyed I found it a confusing read and I felt the same way about The Loving Husband although there was less enjoyment with this one.
