Patricia reviewed Red Winter Journey by Paul Rushworth-Brown
RED WINTER JOURNEY is not just a novel about the English Civil War, but about …
A rare find indeed.
5 stars
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!
