Paul Rushworth-Brown: Red Winter Journey (Paperback, 2022, Shawline Publishing Group)

RED WINTER JOURNEY is not just a novel about the English Civil War, but about …

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book

5 stars

Historical Fiction is not usually a genre that I go for, however, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I was especially impressed by the time and amount of research that must have gone into planning and writing in such great, factual detail. I learnt so much about England during that time period and appreciated all of the smaller details that went into helping set the scene for the reader. I got through this book really quickly as I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen to Tommy and if he would make it back to his family after being kidnapped and forced to fight in the war. There are numerous twists and turns throughout that leave you desperately wanting to know what happens next. I cannot wait to read the other books in this series!

A rare find indeed.

I knew by the blurb I'd be reading an historic tale but never did I imagine being transported back to 1642 as if I had lived in that day and age myself. What a brilliant adventure, loaded with twists, turns and characters that you can't help to fall in love with on their journey. Tommy's character development was superb and well-paced throughout the book. As much as I love the main characters, I thought the supporting characters were just as well defined and added to the narrative. I have to say I was looking for something I haven't read before and I most certainly found it. The drama that permeates through this entire book most definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat, but what I adored most was how accurate and articulated the time period is written, down to the tiniest of colloquialisms that I hadn't heard of …

You can most definitely tell the authors knowledge of this time period was thoroughly researched - and it certainly made me miss old England!
