Title: Skip this ridiculous farce, and read "Forever Amber" instead
Review: This amateurishly-written, poorly-researched novel is an insult to historical fiction, and certainly doesn't even begin to do justice to "pretty, witty Nell." If the leaden dialogue and shallow characterizations don't turn you off, perhaps the absolute lack of storytelling ability will. The author appears to have forgotten the "show, don't tell" rule of writing, and frankly I am amazed that this was published at all ... evidently there are much lower standards for historical romance than for other types of fiction. My writers' group would have torn the first chapter to shreds in five seconds flat.
