"Mirrored Sword Part One" by Allan Hands. Talks about the the rebellion in England and fighting rebels, also talks about Susanna Mandeville and her painting work. Which her character and attitude to men who comes close had made her to be without a husband, it also made her father to banish her several times. Congrats on #BOTD.

Susanna seems to be living a peaceful life, I don’t know why they’ll be bothering her. Also, I wonder what the rebels wanted.

A nice historical fiction book "Mirrored Sword Part One" by Allan Hands, which tells the story of a rebellion in England. This one may be a good entertainer.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

History is one of my interest. Would want to know what became of the rebel, the king of England and not forgetting the girl and the two significant men she met in Bourne.

I like how the author thought out the plot of the book. I especially like the characters of Matilda and Tom Roussell. It is commendable that the book was professionally edited.

I like historical fiction, mostly because it helps to better understand how certain events influenced the life of people. In this particular case, readers will be introduced to stories of ordinary people caught in the fighting of rebelion. I believe it is interesting and educational. Congrats with BOTD!

I find it interesting to read about strong women of character who dared to be different even during such times when women had no voice. Thanks for the amazing review.

Nothing better than historical fiction when told well. This review assures that this fits the category, and it looks like a real hoot! Nice work, Mr. Hands! Congrats on BOTD!

Susanna is quite an intriguing character; her crude behavior, sharp tongue, and bad use of the fist, plus meeting two rebels, is something to look forward to. Nice review.
