5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great historical romance book., February 4, 1999

This book is captivating from the beginning. The reader is impatient to find out what happens tho the Winslow women. Their personalities really come out as the book progresses. Each woman's situation is very different and extremely enthralling. I think that everyone should read this book, but it is better if you have read the HOUSE OF WINSLOW books that precede this one. If you like romance and history together, you will love THE IRON LADY.

This review is from: The Iron Lady: 1903 (The House of Winslow #19) (Paperback)

This amazing undertaking by Gilbert Morris is breath taking in it's scope. Starting with the first Winslow family member coming to America on the Mayflower and tracing the history of the USA through the eyes of this family.
You will meet everyone of importance throughout our history as the Winslow family tree grows and plays a part of building our nation.
40+ books in this series, taking us through WWII with Christian love and patriotism.
I had to order this one because our local library didn't have this book to complete the collection.
I recommend these books to all who will listen to me!

This review is from: The Iron Lady (The House of Winslow #19) (Paperback)

I was a bit disappointed in this entry in the House of Winslow series. Trying to fit three stories into one book seems to make all of them a bit too shallow. I never bought Esther's nickname as the Iron Lady. Even in the beginning of the book she didn't seem as hard as the characters said she was. I loved the character of Esther and her relationship with Jan. Ruth and Dr. Burns were enjoyable to read about as well. I don't enjoy Morris cramming a whole list of current events into each book. They seem out of place at times. I also really enjoyed the character of Priscilla and looked forward to reading the sequel starring her as the Silver Star.
