My Review:
The Daughter’s Of Cornwell is an engrossing, multi generational family saga which was hugely enjoyable.
The thing I most enjoyed about this book is the wonderful, strong women characters the author has created. It was very interesting to follow them throughout the story and see the challenges they face. I liked their determination that their children wouldn’t experience the same problems. I might not have always agreed with their decisions, which sometimes had me wishing I could shout at them, but I always wanted to support them.
The story is told from the point of view of multiple narrators over a number of years starting at the beginning of ww1. This may sound confusing but each character is given a different voice so it is easy to differentiate between them. The descriptions in this book were very vivid with the contrast between beautiful Cornwall and the horror of war really helping to bring home what it must have been like. The slow revealing of secrets is cleverly done with some of them being kept until the end which made sure I kept turning the pages.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper Collins for my copy of this book via Netgalley. If you like multiple timeline stories or family sagas then you’ll love this book!
