A Time for Treason: An Novel of the American Revolution

Rating:
Summary: Blissful escape
Review: This books fails as both a romance novel and historical fiction. This author claims to have degrees in psychology and history. I cringed at her depiction of 18th Century life. In her attempt to portray the times, she fails completely. Many others have tried this genre and at the least have gotten the social basics correct about the times. Had this book presented itself as a harlequin romance, I may have understood from the beginning not to expect more, but the author presents this book as historical fiction. It is not even good soap opera.

Summary: Fun Read II
Review: This is a great, fun, historical fiction work. As said by others, it may not provide doctoral-level historical information, but it provides an exciting and beautiful backdrop to a fast-paced story. To expect otherwise is a bit unfair. She is not distributing a textbook. In addition to it being a fun read, it makes the reader want to visit the rolling hills and tidewater areas of Virginia, and the paradise that is Bermuda.

Summary: A fun read!
Review: This was a great book for my vacation. I had a fantastic love affair, I got to go to Bermuda, AND I got a history lesson. If you enjoy romance and history you'll love this novel.
