A review by rosemaryandrue
Devil Water by Rudolf Steiner, Anya Seton
3.0
This is the tale of Charles Radcliffe and his daughter, Jenny. We follow them over decades as they grow up, mature and go after those causes to which they will dedicate their lives to - to varying effect.
This is my first Anya Seton, and it was a very conscientious read, packed with historical detail and intriguing side characters. I learned quite a lot about the Jacobite uprisings. However, Charles somewhat faded compared to the characters surrounding him, and Jenny I found rather flavorless. Still, I will read more Seton, if only for the history.
