Book Review: These is My Words

The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine 1881 - 1901

by Nancy E. Turner





A partial synopsis from the Author's Website:  "A nice girl should never go anywhere without a loaded gun and a big knife."  Sarah Agnes Prine  



A moving, exciting, and heartfelt American saga inspired by the author's own family memoirs, these words belong to Sarah Prine, a woman of spirit and fire who forges a full and remarkable existence in a harsh, unfamiliar frontier. 

My Thoughts:  Could. Not. Put. It. Down.  I love first person narrative, especially in this diary format.  Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres.  How Sarah reacts to all she faces on the frontier, oh my, is just extraordinary.  What a wonderful book!

 What have you been reading?

    I've read this too. I guess the easiest way to say it was "I could put it down."

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book. I like historical novels that are rooted in real people's lives!
    I'm reading good Scottish crime fiction at the moment - The Trial by John Mayer

    This book is new to me.Thanks for the review. Lady Locust's comment made me choke on my Diet Coke. LOL! I am reading "Reading with Oprah" right now. I wasn't part of 1.0 book club so it is "news" to me. #WoW

    I'm usually more into scifi but I do like the synopsis from this book's author's website. Going to check it out.
