Prologue
1810
Lavinia
There was a strong smell of smoke, and new fear fueled me. Now on the familiar path, I raced ahead, unmindful of my daughter behind me, trying to keep up. My legs were numb, unused to this speed, and my lungs felt as though they were scorched. I forbade myself to think I was too late and focused all my strength on moving toward home.
Would you keep reading? I will, this is the November selection from my F2F bookclub and it was on my TBR list .
Have you read it? What did you think? ( no spoilers, please).
Until next time,
Stay Busy and Stay Happy
