5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Read - And I'm an authority. , November 7, 2007

By	Ginger Simpson "mizging" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

I've always hated reading about English history... found it dry and boring, UNTIL, I discovered Duking Days. New author, Anita Davison, has such a flare with descriptions and emotions that you'll find yourself pulled into the story and won't want to leave until the book ends... then you'll be upset that it's over.

The good news? She's working on a sequel so you'll again get to meet her entertaining characters, share jolly old England through her eyes and words, and, I promise, you'll love it. She's on my keeper shelf and I'm sure she'll end up on yours, too.

By	Anne Whitfield "Author of historical fiction ... (NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews

For those who love well researched historical novels, don't pass up Duking Days by Anita Davison.

The story of Helena Woulfe, and her family, as they struggle to survive the impact of the Monmouth rebellion is an enjoyable read, full of great details and descriptions, with a likeable heroine, and a wonderful supporting cast. We witness the emotional growth of Helena from a country girl to a young woman living in the heart of fashionable London.

Duking Days is a satisfying read, and a definite keeper.
