Actual rating, 4.5 stars. I just didn't feel justified giving this one the 5 stars I gave to Champion, since it just wasn't quite to the same standard.
the start of the book was the slowest part, and I found that once I got used to Anne's innocent and young voice (although she was 22) then I found I just absolutely had to know what happened next.
It's a funny story, because you ultimately know what happens at the end, you're still captivated. Or, at least, I was, anyway.
I liked all the little historical facts in it, the vivid storytelling which contained so much trivia about that time period and taught me so much. I love these types of informative-yet-still-interesting books. I've always thought that everything could be learned from books, and not only from the non-fiction kind.
I definitely liked this book, could say that I loved this book, and I will certainly be reading more from Mary Hooper in the future.
