Official Review: The Grace Emancipation

[kandscreeley]

I'm a sicker for strong female protagonists. This is exactly the kind of book that I would like to read. I might learn a few things from Grace.

I'd like to be more like her myself. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for your review. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite novels, which can make me wary of retellings.

It's not necessarily a retelling. It was just one of the author's influences. Plus the main character likes the book. The plot is unique though.

I love your depiction of how the characters interact with new inventions of the time that we take for granted. Sounds like an interesting book for someone looking for a slow burn.

The author did great with the time period and character interactions. Thanks for your comment!

I've recently realized that I love character-driven stories, and it seems this historical novel is such one as well. Great, thorough review.

Then you would like this one. Grace is a strong woman. Not without faults, though.

Thanks for this review! I like that the book is character-driven, historically-accurate, and free of explicit scenes. However, your mention of errors puts a damper on everything. *sigh* I hope the errors get fixed in a reprint.

The errors aren't that bad. I would still give it a try.

Great review! It makes me want to read this book and, in spite of the errors, it is one that I am reasonably sure I will enjoy. The downside is my TBR list is so long, I am not sure I will ever finish it!

I hear you about the to be read list. Mine is long as well. Hope you can find time for this one.

Another great review, plus I learned a new word - historicity. It's always frustrating when errors mar an otherwise wonderful book. I don't usually like slow-pacing books, although your description of the pacing as a "slow, leisurely journey" may make me rethink my preferences.

I'm pretty sure I looked up historicity to make sure I was usingit correctly. As for pacing, there's enjoyably slow and downright boring. This one was enjoyably slow. Thanks for your comments as always.

From your review, I could sense that you enjoy reading this book. Grace's ignorance made me laugh too but I'm glad you mentioned about her transformation into a matured lady despite her hardships. I'm so sorry for the errors. Thank you for the thorough review and congratulations. I have seen that this review of yours was featured.

Thanks Dolor. It was a great book. I really did enjoy it!

I can see myself enjoying this book because I am a historical fiction aficionada. I like that Grace was a woman ahead of her time. Thanks for the interesting review!

Thanks Yolimari! She was an inspiration to read about.

Thank you for your detailed review. I read the book and really enjoyed it. In my opinion, the story is more accented on a leading lady's love story, when, I personally, would have wanted to see more of her "emancipation" and finding her own place in the world, as well as her love, of course.

Oh trust me! It is about her finding her way. She is very resistant to love. She wantsto be independent.
