The London Restoration by Rachel McMillan
4.0
I really enjoyed this richly layered historical fiction novel. It has all of the elements I want to see in a book of this genre: vividly written characters, rich historical detail, an interesting plot, and complexity in how all of it is woven together. I think so many readers, like me, want to see more of the psychological and emotional affects of war on the characters in our fiction, not just nonstop action during the war years alone.
I loved these characters. They’re the kind you think about for weeks afterwards. And I had never really thought about how the damage to the churches would have been so immense during the war, and the author incorporated the damage from the war so nicely into the plot and symbolism.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
