This review is from: Daughter of Mine (Paperback)

This book is amazing and quite the best I have read in a long time. Could not put it down and felt very lost when I had finished it. It describes life in the Magdeline Laundries and is so realistic you are living in the story. Brilliant

5.0 out of 5 stars Phew!!! What a Novel, April 15, 2010

This review is from: Daughter of Mine (Paperback)

This novel is one of the best I have read for a long time. It is a wonderful story and Anne Bennett's imagination certainly worked overtime here. There is something happening in this story all the time and so unpredicable. This novel is up with one of the great family sagas ever written. Treat yourself and you will see what I mean. Hats off to Anne Bennett. Brillant, Entertaining and so very breath catching.
