At the start I have read Candace Robb and enjoyed the novels thouroughly along with Walter Havighurst(which is my doctor's grandfather) which I find very thourough on history. Mr. Kenneth Roberts having ties in the northeast I believe enriches the stories and I have loved them so far. At this point I am on Rabble in Arms and shall continue as I can find the books. I must add that I have my son Austin thankfully studying creative writing at Miami University of Ohio which also spurs on my interests while he also enjoys history and learning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920645475305303954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895869877943728481.post-34424637973986871062014-08-08T15:34:24.073-07:002014-08-08T15:34:24.073-07:00THANKS!

Everyone is talking about this novel, as the television series is about to come out, and I was curious about it--but I have a very delicate suspension of disbelief and historical in-accuracy is a sure-fire way to disappointment me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8895869877943728481.post-38475000989562614722014-08-08T07:54:05.631-07:002014-08-08T07:54:05.631-07:00Indeed but Roberts took liberties with the folks f...Indeed but Roberts took liberties with the folks from my area of Central Maine, painting them in a bad light, so there's a regional rivalry going on here. I address this in my nonfiction account Patriot on the Kennebec.
