This review is from: Blood Red Roses (Mass Market Paperback)

Lacks originality - take "Hearts and Bones" throw in some new character names, add another "mentally unstable" chracter and presto - you have this book.

This book is the first I have read by Margaret Lawrence, and it was incredibly hard to understand. The characters were unbelieveable. I had a huge problem toward understanding some of the phrases she wrote. There was not very much romance and/or suspense in it anyway. I definitely will not read "Hearts and Bones."

This review is from: Blood Red Roses (Mass Market Paperback)

I discovered this book quite by accident. My mom is a huge mystery fan, but she didn't really get into Blood Red Roses. One day I got bored and for lack of any other, I picked up this book. Honestly, it shocked me with its beauty. It has wonderful historical detail and characters so vivid you're ready to swear they existed. Another great thing was I could read this book without having read Hearts and Bones, its predecessor, though I would recommend starting at the beginning of the series.

The story is really wonderful. Hannah Trevor is a midwife in a small Maine town in 1786. Her loyalist husband ran off to Canada and apparently died there. But Hannah finds love in the arms of Major Daniel Josselyn, a quiet man with a scarred past, a stunning inner strength...and an ailing wife. What everyone knows is that Daniel is the father of Hannah's daughter Jennet. But when a murder rocks the small town, a murder to which mute Jennet is the only witness, everyone's faith is tested. Hannah has to fight for her rights as a woman in the 1700s as well as justice for a man she had long thought dead using all her skills as a healer and all her stubborn intelligence.

The prose style of this novel is haunting. The narratives are intense and revealling and faultlessly detailed. Hannah is a woman of uncommon strength, a very well drawn character. Daniel is skillfully done, torn, confused and hypnotic and also one of my all-time favorites. Little Jennet's narratives are fascinating, too. I also loved the portrayal of Charlotte Josselyn. It was so well done, one can't help but wish her well.

I would suggest anyone who is a fan of mystery and/or historical fiction should read this book. It's wonderful and completely unforgettable.
