The best thing about this book is the characters. It’s a testament to the detail and effort the author has put in that each one is so well crafted and dynamic. None more so than Sophie who I was immediately fascinated with. She is a strong and confident female born at a time when inequality reigned supreme.The plot is simple enough to comprehend with Sophie and her sister, Margaux, venturing out on a quest to Oregon to settle a plot of land there. This does not sound particularly interesting but it is the encounters and adventures they have along the way that makes the book compelling.There’s plenty more of the story to discuss but I’ve never been one to reveal too much of the plot, suffice to say that this book had me engrossed from the very beginning and it didn’t let go until I had finished.  Rebecca Kimbel has real talent and a strong passion for writing, she has earned herself a new fan and I look forward to reading the other books in this series.
