clotalksbooks 's review for:

Cecily by Annie Garthwaite
4.5
adventurous tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I can't believe this is a debut! Extraordinary and vivid portrayal of the period. I love reading about this period of history, and it was such an interesting perspective to read from. What a woman! 

It was interesting reading this knowing the main outcomes (e.g. who becomes King etc.). This didn't detract from the power of the book, and I loved seeing different sides of certain people. 

I am eager to read more from Annie Garthwaite! Me and other book club members loved it.
