And Susanna's beliefs about this were especially interesting, though a bit annoying sometimes. I've never really thought about it before: how dangerous it was to voice opposition to the king during this time. You can just feel the tension and growing discontent among the colonists as the king's demands get worse. This is only the second piece of historical fiction I've read that takes place in colonial times. The pre-Revolutionary War setting was interesting. But there is so much more than just romance happening in the story. Sure, this is a romance, and the focus is on the relationship between Susanna and Ben. The book starts with a pretty dramatic courtroom scene that sets the tone for the entire book. Does that make sense? I remember that happening with Unending Devotion. Sometimes it takes me a while to feel settled in a story, especially when it comes to historical fiction.
