Editorial Reviews

Review

"Langley’s Choice is full of subtle humour and subtle romance as we watch within our mind how Josiah and Caroline evolve into much better people. Though not filled with lashings of romance and sexual angst as some of the more popular romance novels offer, this contribution from Zumaya Publications is a wonderful book. It gives you a sense that everything will work out for the better if you trust in yourself and in God." - ROMANCE AT HEART --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

This review is from: Langley's Choice (Paperback)

The story starts with Josiah wondering why he bought Langley's Choice, and why he is engaged to marry the neighbor's eldest daughter, Caroline. He is a gentleman from England. This wild country is very far from family and upbringing, and his wife-to-be has made such an inappropriate choice for her state in life that if she survives, is she a worthy candidate for marriage? The growth of these characters leaves you with hope. The accurately historical background is eyeopening. I have bought this book for friends.

This review is from: Langley's Choice (Paperback)

This isn't as good as her other books, but it's a nice, gentle book that moves like a Jane Austen novel. It would make a good gift for your mom or aunt, especially if she likes history, because there are a lot of historical details about how they did stuff in colonial Maryland.
