The heroines were little girls around 5 or 6 years old and they interacted with real historical people. I identified with them as they were around my age. My mother was 16 when Pearl Harbor was bombed a couple of days after she arrived there - History to me was part of her life. My high school history teacher was also there, returning, drunk, from shore leave. To me, History has always been about real people so it’s almost personal. When I read a historical fiction novel or see a movie, I then find a factual source to see how accurate the book/movie was. Please keep writing your wonderful books - they bring another time alive and make it personal.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090434162244376007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-89770564277376933182018-05-19T07:20:10.792-07:002018-05-19T07:20:10.792-07:00I have every one of your books, Victoria, even tho...I have every one of your books, Victoria, even though initially I didn't think I'd like to read about a midwife.
