Rachel agrees to marry Seth, an older man her parents have chosen for her, only because Peter, the man to whom she lost her heart, has been missing since his impressment in the British navy more than a year before. When Peter returns as if from the dead, Rachel is torn between her youthful promise to wait for him and her growing realization that she has found true love with Seth.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating story,
By Linda T. (Attorney) (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rachel's Passage (Mass Market Paperback)
In sections alternating between the main characters' perspectives, this beautifully written historical novel lures readers to take sides, and then doubt the side they've taken, in a lawsuit over the custody of a child. The author's thorough research into archaic legal concepts like "self divorce" and "criminal conversation" gives her fictional early American community a solid structure. Sure, it's a romantic story, but the characters are so well depicted and their controversy so sensibly drawn, that the intrigue of the book goes far beyond the simple categorization of its genre.

Stunning - Paula Reid is magnificent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rachel's Passage (Mass Market Paperback)
Rachel's Passage is a wonderful story of a woman who has been charged with "criminal conversation" aka adultery. I loved the way Reid varied between first person and third person narrative. I hope the author plans on writing more books like this, with similar settings.
