Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"The Other Countess" is a wonderful historical romance. One of the things I dislike most about many "historical" romances is the history. This may sound strange, but many authors (particularly of YA historical romance, in my experience) treat their chosen historical period as nothing more than wallpaper to be slapped on to render their tale "exotic" or "historical". This book, however, is not one of those "history as a thin veneer" novels. The research the author did shows in the descriptions of the activities, clothing, and actions of the characters.
I found "The Other Countess" to be a fun, quick read, and is definitely suitable for a wide range of ages. I'm a thirty something mother with an MA in History, and my daughter is 12, and not terribly interested in the subject. She found the novel as enjoyable as I did, and stayed up late in order to finish in one sitting (thank heavens she's on summer break).
I will definitely seek out the other two books that have been published, even if I have to order from overseas, as I cannot wait until Spring 2012 for the US release of the second book.
