I became infatuated with historical fiction when I was a teenager. Here I am 20 years later, seeking the same type of books. Rose of Skibbereen is beautifully written and pulled me into the development of the plot from the first few pages because the characters are so real. I love the author's writing style and character development.I was excited to see how Rose and Mary's trip to America would progress. I felt sorry for them on the ship; nothing is worse than sea sickness! They found ways to entertain themselves and each other, as true friends and cousins do. Their kinship and friendship are strong, and they each have a very strong sense of family values.This book is full of unforgettable characters, believable romance, a great sense of family, and adventure. I really look forward to the next book!
