Taffy is the first historical novel I've read in a while and
the experience was outstanding. The writer's language is lyrical, which made me
savor the telling of the tale. Taffy's story takes place in a rich and vibrant
world I didn't want to emerge from whenever I picked up my Kindle.
The book's protagonist, Taffy, is a young woman who has had
many bad experiences thrown at her, including marriage to a lecherous older man. Her losses are many, but her strength is undiminished
as she learns how to tough things out.
Her return to her hometown and subsequent reunion with the man
she intended to marry unleashes a host of plot twists that makes Taffy an
absorbing read. The eternal struggle of good versus evil challenges Taffy, who's
gifted with second sight, and puts her at risk.
The characters are well-drawn
and colourful, the setting realistic, and the storyline filled with shocking twists.
After travelling with Taffy and Roam to the end of their romance, I couldn't
help hoping Ms. Harrison will continue their story. If you like sweeping tales
that take you to a different time in history with realism and heart, then Taffy
is a must read.
I purchased Taffy on Amazon.
Cover Note: Great representation of the story.
What a beautiful blessing of a review! Thank you, Ms Campbell.
