Jennie Reads –
This Historical Fiction read as a nice blend of non-fiction and novel and completely pulls you into the past. This story is from the heart of the German immigrant’s experience in Texas. The main character, Amelia is a young woman who leaves Germany to be the tutor to a child. Due to circumstances beyond her control she enters a life that she is not prepared for but somehow manages to thrive. Without giving away too much, the author is able to deal with a subject matter that was part of life in the late 1800’s but hidden behind closed doors. Her delicate and realistic dealings of what her characters are experiencing kept me reading late into the night. I could not go to sleep until I found out what Amelia was going to do.
I chose to read this book for the pure joy of reading and I was not disappointed.
