Marcel "M" Du Bois was an average young man who wanted to find love and get married until his life changed one night.

After the battle at Crecy in August 1346, he decided to take the girl he loved, Regine, to his parents' home. Before they could get there, they had an encounter that greatly affected their lives as they knew it. The scope of the effect this would have on them would become apparent over the years, and a significant level of wisdom and strength would be required on their path.

M Was Twenty August 1346 by Anthony Hamer follows M and Regine's journey as they try to navigate the implications of that night. Will they succeed, or will everything come crashing down around them?

The plot of this book was intriguing. From the start, the author grabbed my attention and created a curiosity that kept me turning the pages, wanting to discover what would happen next. The writing style was engaging, and I admired how the author found a balance with his writing style. There was very little dialogue, as the book was primarily written in a narrative style. However, we could still relate to the characters and understand their actions and emotions. I could appreciate the characters as individuals and be carried along with the story.

I loved the amount of detail the author put into this book. I kept checking to ensure the book was non-fiction and not a memoir because the way things were described with so much accuracy and detail gave the book a life-like feel.

This book can be described as having one turning point. Everything else in the book either leads to or deviates from that point. There is little to nothing else of interest that the book has to offer. Everything continues in a straight line till the end. Because the author spends a lot of time describing things in the book, they begin to feel repetitive at some point. Right before there appears to be something new happening, the book ends abruptly. I can not tell whether there will be a continuation because there is no available information.

The book is professionally edited, although there are a couple of errors. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars. I take one star away because of the straight-line nature of the plot and the repetitiveness at some point. I recommend M Was Twenty August 1346 to anybody who loves historical fiction set in 14th-century France.

I love how tactical you were with your review. One would think they had an accident or something, but the feeling of not being certain what they encountered will pique the interest of many.

I'm hooked on reading, and I'm curious what happened to the couple. It is a good strategy to use reviews to convince your reader to go to the book and read it. Good job!
