Emotional and Dramatic Historical Fiction
This book had me hooked from the start. I adore the amount of research done by Underdown to create the world of Alice Hopkins so artfully and accurately. Not only does the author capture the turbulence of the English civil war and the complex social systems of the time, but she also brings the reader into that world through the intensely relatable emotions felt by Alice throughout the story. Underwood expertly develops the personalities and flaws of each character in really believable ways, creating the complex relationships that we often see in real life. The story is also often pushed forward by gossip and secrets which the reader must choose whether or not to believe, adding an extra element of mystery to an already thrilling read.


After visiting many of the towns mentioned in the book (Manningtree, Mistley Wells, Colchester, Ipswich), I am in awe of the detail that Underdown used to bring these places to life. While some artistic license was taken (and described in the Author's Note), this book remains a beautiful and chilling glimpse into England's dark past.

Ekene is a singer-songwriter and producer from Nigeria. Not too long ago, he released a charming Afrobeat tune, entitled, “Good Girl”.

“She get everything I want. I love my lady. I no go lie. She be the real fine lady. Wey dey blow ma mind. She nor dey stress me o. She no dey form. My Nigerian woman, nwanyi ọma.” – lyrics

‘Good Girl’ tells an adorable tale of a young guy who cherishes the special Nigerian woman in his life. Apparently, she’s a beautiful good girl who has everything he wants and much more.

Therefore, he loves her wholeheartedly because she gives him peace of mind and doesn’t stress him out.

‘Good Girl’ contains a relatable storyline and pleasing vocals. Also, the song possesses rhythmic instrumentation flavored with Afrobeat, world, and tropical-dance elements.

“Good girls make the world go ‘round. The song is basically bragging about how life is easy for a man who has a good girl in his life.” – Ekene

Ekene was born in Lagos State and raised in his hometown Ibusa, Delta State. Also, as a music producer, he is known as Keasungs.
