Barbara Erskine - Daughters Of Fire

[maddy321]

I'd been waiting ages for the new book by BARBARA ERSKINE. She is a brilliant Historian and I always feel that she has really done her homework. The background that she sets with descriptions jump alive. The characters are so easy to understand, I feel that I am in the setting with them.

I found myself drawn in by the character of Cartimandua, the Queen of the Brigantes she has been so well written it was very easy to identify with the decisions she had to make during her reign. The author has very cleverly linked the past and the present by making historian Viv Lloyd Rees the link to Cartimandua through an ancient brooch .......Anymore info and I will spoil it for you!

A very good read, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I love love love Barbara Erskine! :D

She has to be my most favourite author ever - it's nice to have someone on here that thinks the same!!!!

I have all her books and they take pride and place on my bookshelf!

I've nearly finished reading this one and I am quite impressed. This is my first Barbara Erskine book, it took me a while to get into the story and her writing style but it has been a great read. The main characters, especially the historical ones, were a great read.

Excellent!! :mrgreen:

And I thought that this one wasn't as good as her previous books. You are in for a treat with the rest of them!
