Rachel Reviews: The Last Boat Home by Rachel Sweasey
This is what I call a nice book and that's a compliment. It's got a solid story which unfolds smoothly and with pace; the characters are believable and their trials and hopes are told in such a way that you are able to relate to them; the ending brings all the narrative threads together and ties them off in such a way that no room for misinterpretation is left for a reader to be perplexed over. I think books like this are undersold - it is, literally, a piece of escapism which takes you off into another life for just a bit, maybe a different time and lets you mosey about there for a bit as an entertained observer.
