Review:
"The Heart of The Rose" by Kathryn Meyer Griffin was a very good read.
This story is so full of historical (Civil Wars)
information that you are made to feel that
you are there. This story is around the time of King Edward IV. The heroine
in the story definitely Bronwyn. I felt she had a good heart. Truly she had
such devotion to her sisters,
son and even her friends. There are several sexual scenes (rape scenes)
that are graphic
and was very hard to read. However, I believe the author was trying to get
the reader to understand just how terrible this was. And she did!
I thought that the author did a good job with the story... maybe a little long
but we needed to know all of this information so we could understand the
novel. In the read we find ...Was Bronwyn a witch or just a power healer?
Bronwyn was a poor peasant girl that had to face a lot of things in her life.
Her parents were dead and she was left to fend for her two sisters and later
her son, Johnny. There were many many obstacles placed in her life...
Truly Bronwyn was trapped by two different men and how the
author presents this story is really good. I was never bored because there
was always something happening that would keep you interested till the end.
I found it hard to put this novel down due to the fact I was always wanting
to know just what was going to happen next. In the end was Bronwyn a
witch or just a power healer and would she be saved?
"The Heart of The Rose" was indeed a good historical and romance read
and if you are into details get ready for a good read.
