4.0 out of 5 starsWell researched historical fiction
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 4, 2021
Although the character is purely fictional, the author's mastery of the period lends credence to something that one would hope would happen in real life at the time.

1.0 out of 5 starsCannot recommend!
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 20, 2018
What a disappointment. Was absolutely thrilled with the Large Type. Wonderful for these old eyes. Sadly the book reads like a trumped up Harlequin romance. A silly waste of time & money.

You will enjoy the history of the Irish immigrants and Scottish immigrants in the new world. The tough times they left back home and the trying times surviving when they arrived.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible story
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 4, 2022
What an amazing story. I learned so much about history, {my history}, American history and about the incredible man that Andrew Carnegie was. I knew of a library and Carnegie Hall, of course, I had absolutely no idea the expanse of his generosity.
Although I am Canadian my Irish ancestors would have had the same challenges as those that settled in Pittsburgh and New England. So I found Clara's fight for her family very educational on what my own family would have experienced.
I love history and fictional novels on non-fiction people and events makes it real, not just names and dates on a page in a school book.
It would be so beneficial for history to be taught like this in schools.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 22, 2022
Very well written. I enjoyed the way history was portrayed through the eyes of a maid and the unexpected ending. It kept my attention all the way through.

A beautifully woven story of which some might be true. A peek into the classes of society at that time.
