Book Review:The Porter's Wife




The Porter's Wife
Lisa Brown (Author)

Book Review
By Michael Beas


Historical Fiction at its very finest!

Author Lisa Brown has done an astounding job with this fantastic tale that has captured my heart and imagination. While there are many words that can define this novel one in particular stands out amongst the rest: Gripping!

How can one write a review on such an amazing story that will engulf the mind and imagination well into the late night hours? In this story you will embark on a great number of adventures that will simply take your breath away. A voyage aboard a steamship across the Atlantic Ocean dating back to the early 1900’s is just one of the many treats that will sweep you away. Main Character, Sarah Berry was developed perfectly in an easy to relate, easy to follow manner that is multi-dimensional, not an easy task to accomplish as an Author.

While I have never been to Manchester, England I felt as if I was walking down the streets in the early 1900’s watching the flames of the dancing candles lick the glass off of the oil lamps hanging by the windows. The characters are bold and strong, the world Brown has created for the reader is extremely descriptive and places you in the heart of the story. The plot theme is original and unique.

Words to describe this book are: Emotional, Realistic, Inspiring, and Descriptive in a well-written manner. Wait I have more: Fear, Doubt, Sorrow, and Regret will enthrall this senses in an epic way that will have you thinking about this book well after you are done reading. If you are a fan of Ken Follett then you will love this “The Porter Wife.” What can I say other then I have become a fan of Author Lisa Brown and can’t wait to read more of her works.

5 Stars and wish there was more to pass out.
