The Outcast (The Morland Dynasty Series)

Rating:
Summary: Fantastic series but...
Review: I highly recommend this series, especially to lovers of English history or those who like family sagas. I was completely hooked after the first book and have been steadily making my way through the series. But this one was a bit disappointing. Too much time is spent in South Carolina during the Civil War for a book that is supposed to be covering English history as experienced by one family through the years. It would have been more in keeping with the theme if this book had covered how Civil War induced cotton shortages affected the cotton mills and workers in Manchester. But don't let this keep you from reading the series.
