Very good plot, a good historical fiction. (0 more)
Well written with a marriage of history and art.
I was not sure about this book when i picked it up, i love historical fiction but was not 100% sure by the blurb. I was pleased i persevered because i enjoyed the book very much. The characters really came alive and the culture and art you could see so vividly. Would recommend to anyone who likes a historical fiction love story.

Enjoyable historical fiction - reminded me of Jean Plaidy! Written to go with the ITV series (which I haven't seen....!)

"Another historical fiction novel. Set in the American west and the impossible to imagine violence and betrayal that occurred."
