ReplyDeleteIf I could surround myself with historical books both fiction and nonfiction I would. I absolutely love to read historical books. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong century since my interest is so high. I am the Mother of 12 children and this book along with it's historical detail is fine. I would love to read this. Thank you for the opportunity.
