A review by arlena_priscilla
The Hearth and Eagle by Anya Seton

4.0

As I had lived in Marblehead, MA for a couple of years and still do live on the North Shore, this felt almost nostalgic to me as I recognized all these places and streets in the book. This was a great historical fiction, albeit very character driven and therefore a bit slow so not something to pick up if you want to fly through a book. It follows one woman’s life in the 1800’s but for being “historical” there was a lot to relate to in this book regarding family, relationships and home.
