4.0 out of 5 stars A charming historical pageant starring real people, November 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Defending Hillsborough (Paperback)

The author lovingly recreates the early part of her ancestress' history and the history of the Inn that still welcomes visitors to Hillsborough. The story unfolds with the stately predictability of a family tradition. You don't read this one for the plot, you read it for the warm familiarity of ante-bellum Southern life and the changes imposed by "the late unpleasantness."

5.0 out of 5 stars Truely a step back in time, June 18, 2003

This review is from: Defending Hillsborough (Paperback)

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I found it very hard to put down, and the story telling was amazing. It was also a turn on to me since I am from Hillsborough. I absolutely loved reading this book and then be able to go into town and see exactly where things were. Truely a step back in time for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a truly enjoyable book.I, October 7, 1999

It's the kind of book one finds hard to put down. One can feel Sarah's pain and fustrations but at the same time marval at her strength. One has the feeling of actually being at the inn with her, waiting for the next thing to happen , wondering what you would do in her place.
