My Daily Selection for Kindle Freebie Download



Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Historical



I decided to switch it up a bit today and go for a 20th Century Prohibition Historical novel.  At the time of writing this post it doesn't seem as if anyone has reviewed it yet, so I am taking a bit of a leap of faith here with this recommendation.  It's about three genteel sisters who use their family pleasure schooner to save their family from ruin.

As usual you can find it quickly over at Amazon by clicking the large title just above the cover photograph, or click HERE,

This morning that my Amazon Reviewer status has risen back up a bit to 9,356.  Making significant gains seems to be hard now I've hit the Top Reviewers' List, but thank you to anyone that has taken the time to leave positive feedback over there for me, it is very much appreciated.


I would love to get to the top 1,000 Reviewers' .... so if you find the Daily Kindle Download info useful please go over to my Reviews on Amazon and leave me some positive feedback - which helps my rating, and will earn you my grateful thanks.

Hugs

#109 (#45) - As The Night Ends ~ Audrey Howard

As the Night Ends


ISBN: 0-340-82407-7

I recently had a conversation about the Suffragette Movement with my Daughter a short time ago, and this would be a good book to read to try to understand what those women went through to try and get the vote ... it's also a wholesome good read too.

Brilliant Surgeon, but a loner, Doctor Patrick O'Leary is returning home from St Thomas's Hospital when he gets caught up with a Votes For Women Demonstration in Westminster Yard, and also caught in the snare of a beautiful young girl, Alex Goodwin, as she is arrested and propelled into the back of a Black Maria.

The book follows their story, and ill-fated but certain love, through the WSPU fight, imprisonment, and the First World War.

All in all, not quite such a sparkling read as those I have read previously, but enjoyable nonetheless with a 3.5 **** Star rating.
