GOOD BOOK
Be prepared to tear up, I did. This work is so powerful! Its historical fiction that takes place during world war 2(loosely based on actual resistance fighting events i believe). Well worth reading! (I dont want to spoil it)

I had never read historical fiction before. This was a present so I have it a go and my god did I love it. Needless to say, Mrs Gregory has a new fan and I will be raiding the rest of her books.

Martyr ( John Shakespeare book 1)
By Rory Clements
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


This ingenious debut introduces John Shakespeare, Elizabethan England's most remarkable investigator, in a tale of conspiracy and murder that succeeds brilliantly as both historical fiction and crime thriller.

This is one of my favourite eras to read! I really enjoyed this book it was full of murder and intrigue in a very dark time especially if you were religious and on the wrong side. It’s definitely a book I recommend if you like historical fiction. It has some very interesting characters along the way.

Wonderful Historical Fiction
This book had me gripped from beginning to end. It was a very different look into WW2 and Hitler. I found myself unable to put this book down. Highly recommend. It was a quick amd easy read, yet I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Book Favorite

"I love all of Sarah Waters’ historical fiction but this is my favorite novel, set during and after WWII. It starts slow but picks up insane momentum, using reverse narration to follow the characters backward in time to the explosive wartime scenes that shaped them."
