Have you read...

I just recently finished two great books and I wanted to share that you might enjoy if you are a  historical fiction fan like me!

If you enjoy history, like I do, you will love both of these from completely different eras but equally captivating.

Set in 1765 America, America's First Daughter by Stephanie Dray tells the story of Martha "Patsy" Jefferson Randolph, daughter of our 3rd president, Thomas Jefferson. It is considered "historical fiction" so there is an element of fiction obviously but there is A LOT of historically correct information. It's filled with interesting information and a new perspective as it is told from Patsy's point of view during a time when her father helped develop this country. While the story follows Patsy's life is parallels her father's, Thomas Jefferson's as well and tells both the ups and downs of life in the 18th century.

The second book I highly recommend, along with MANY of my friends, is The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It's the story of two sisters in occupied France during the second World War. The sisters who appear to be very different couldn't be more alike in their acts of bravery. They find themselves in frighten situations and must muster all of their courage to overcome and prevail in the face of danger and hardship in order to help others.  Their selfless acts of courage make this a beautiful example of strength, love, hope and courage.  It's a book that keep me up late wanting to read a little more and a little more but then I did not want to finish it because the story would be over and it was sooooooo good!

Neither one of these "reviews" do these great books the justice they deserve.  Both wonderful books that if you choose to read, I hope you will enjoy as much as I did!
