Thanks for the review and the introduction to a woman who obviously was a powerful person. It is always good to see women who are able to become who they want to be. And success is the best revenge, isn't it? Sounds like Doll created a life filled with success.<br /><br />Hope everyone is well and safe and happy.Annette Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-46995279482255966842022-02-10T10:55:31.108-05:002022-02-10T10:55:31.108-05:00I love historical fiction and have heard only good...I love historical fiction and have heard only good things about Island Queen. Dorothy Kirwan Thomas was unknown to me before, sadly, but I'm glad she's now been spotlighted so we can all learn more about her. Probably the last historical novel that truly blew me away was Kristin Hannah's The Four Winds.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412429227770427050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-11743742412473483202022-02-10T10:19:15.706-05:002022-02-10T10:19:15.706-05:00I've always loved historical fiction and I lov...I've always loved historical fiction and I love big books - just finished one that was almost 800. those are the stories I never want to end.

There are so many amazing women in history that have rarely gotten the recognition for what they have accomplished and contributed to the world. It is a book on my wish list.Patricia B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05204020525523938796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-73212034888050990132022-02-09T12:18:01.297-05:002022-02-09T12:18:01.297-05:00Like Glenda, I first heard of Dorothy Kirwin Thoma...Like Glenda, I first heard of Dorothy Kirwin Thomas in the pre-publishing buzz for Island Queen. I enjoyed Vanessa Riley's previous books but she hit is out of the park with Island Queen. Obviously, a passion project. The sailboat scene still pops into my mind from time to time.<br /><br />I enjoy historical fiction. Another favorite from last year was Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209757438366296861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-54943197376367109262022-02-08T21:46:57.475-05:002022-02-08T21:46:57.475-05:00I love historical fiction!

Because of how many people talked about how excited and impatient they were for Island Queen to be release. If Vanessa Riley wasn't such an amazing author, people wouldn't have been so excited and I wouldn't have heard of Dorothy Kirwin Thomas.

I haven't heard of this author. A novel which was captivating and amazing was The Time in Between by Maria Duenas.
