The Dickens Boy
Like the best historical fiction, this adventure-filled novel (featuring colorful scoundrels, fetching young women, suicide, scandals, and no small amount of Dickens lore), rings entirely true. A delightful read, warmly recommended.

Napoleon's Last Island
Evidently based on true accounts, the novel as told by Betsy has accurately reproduced the diction of a 19th-century writer, which occasionally slows the pace of this engaging work by well-known Australian author Keneally (Confederates; Schindler's List). [See Prepub Alert, 4/25/16.]

Shame and the Captives
The leisurely narrative gains force as it progresses. A fascinating aspect is the author's treatment of the psychology of prisoners and their keepers, capped by Major Suttor's conclusion that "the captors are prisoners too." Highly recommended to all who appreciate a historical work told with great perception and insight. [See Prepub Alert, 8/8/14.]
