4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Insight into Different Personalities in a New England Town, December 7, 2011

This review is from: Pembroke A Novel (Kindle Edition)

Set in the New England, this story revolves around Mr. Barnabas Thayer and his future bride Miss Charlotte Barnard. Mr. Cephas Barnard orders Barnabas out of his home when they have an argument, breaking his engagement with Cephas's daughter, Charlotte. The books does a good job showing all the different personalities within their families affected by the breakup. Well written and shows insight into the various lives of couples.

I was a little surprised to find the story a little depressing but I was still intrigued to keep on reading and to find out happens to everyone involved in this small town. At times I just wanted to shake Barnabas and tell him to stop being stubborn and prideful. A book one can read in a couple of hours.
