5.0 out of 5 stars best historical fiction, June 24, 2002
By 
Kathylene Privitera (Augusta, WV United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Norah Lofts wrote the best historical fiction, not cheesy historical romance, just good history stories...her books are mostly centered around a town in northern England, Baildon, and the villages surrounding it; this novel, Pargeters, will catch you in its spell; you will become so engrossed in the characters & their lives, that you will forget they lived 400 years ago, & are fiction anyway, you'll be sorry, as I always am, when Norah Loft's stories end!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story with lots of ups & downs, August 25, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This story that takes place in England immediately before, during and after the Commonwealth period is excellently written. There are characters to love and to despise, along with lots of history and cultural information, and even a couple of mysteries woven in to the story. Some of the events I was able to guess ahead of time, but several were completely unexpected. Sarah's determination and fortitude reminded me a bit of Scarlett O'Hara, although Sarah certainly had a more realistic view of herself and others than Scarlett ever managed. The ending was such a combination of sadness and joy, and it was very much a suprise. I would have wished Sarah more periods of happiness in her life, but other than that, I could not have wished for the story to be any different than it was. Outstanding!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you need to escape and get away from it all, August 26, 2008
I have read this book 5 times and its great if you want to forget about everything and escape into the historical world of ancient Suffolk. I love Norah Lofts books and this is one of her best ones. I am trying to collect them all.
