Book Review: Our Own Country

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
This book is the second in the series The Midwife Book.
Eliza Boylston, a merchant's daughter was forced to leave her home in the 1770s when war came near. This war, the Revolutionary War, divided her family in many ways. Eliza finds herself attracted to John Watkins, her uncle's slave. This led her to Braintree, Massachusetts where radicals such as John and Abigail Adams lived.The life she is forced into leaves many questions and uncertainties about her and John's lives.
I am a history buff, so I was naturally drawn to this book. It was a good book which included historically correct details. I like it when authors take the time to research the time period and setting of a book. I had not read the first book but I was able to immerse into the book with little difficulty. It was a well-written book that I recommend for other history buffs.

Book Review: Imposters of Patriotism by Ted Richardson

In this historical thriller, an antiques dealer, Matt Hawkins, finds a diary with a letter in it where Washington was surrendering during the worst of the Revolutionary War. Even though the letter was written, it was not sent. Because of this the colonists continued fighting and turned the tide to win the war.

In the present day, a presidential candidate is under attack as this news become more public. The story goes back and forth between time-lines as the story, from both continues to unfold.

This is a well-written, easy-to-follow novel by this debut author. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.
