The Winthrop Woman by Anya Seton
3.0
This is a tome! My copy, deceivingly, looked like a little paperback - but it took a while to work my way through it.
The novel did tend to drag here and there, but by the midway point, I was mostly engaged and ready to keep going. Most interestingly was that this novel is based on read characters, and it seems as though the author might actually have taken historic document and letters and actually quoted them in the novel (will have to look into this to know for sure). The old English and spelling was a bit of a chore to read, but was used sparingly.
A great look into the Puritan era and colonial America!
