the story
I have read this authors other series and again this does not disappoint, this story shows that even with a secret people can do anything they set their mind to, Interesting and engaging.
Set in Chicago and Boston in thes, 'The Christmas Will' is the story of Ester Woods, who rises above prejudice and discrimination only to have it follow her.
It is a story that explores the lot of women in preCivil War America, where men made the rules and women bore the consequences, yet it is also a story that celebrates the free thinking women who stood up against such strictures and embraced their intelligence and talents, and who dared to hope for more than just being someone's wife.
As an Australian, I found some of the grammar and word choices awkward, although I know that the author has followed accepted patterns of American English, so I was determined to not allow it to detract from the story that was being told.
I would, however, encourage the author to have nonAmericans among her editorial team or beta readers, so that matters of local usage are less distracting for readers who are accustomed to more international patterns and usage of English.
This is an enjoyable read, I do appreciate the way in which the author has blended elements of historical fiction and mystery to make the story complex and intriguing.
