5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and beautiful

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2022

This is a beautiful and thoughtful novel. I love the focus on cultural differences and the historical setting. The backdrop of British colonization in the 1600s along with the multicultural bent reminds me a bit of the romantic subplot in the classic “Shogun” but this seems like a more fleshed-out look at how love can span across any boundary!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written and immersive

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2022

Kuwoyomush is a fascinating mix of historical fiction and romance that centers around the characters of Rebecca and Francis. I enjoyed how the writing taps into the emotions of the characters, and you can vividly feel what they’re feeling and thinking. The author also describes an interesting dynamic between the tribes and the Englishmen. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique novel with actual history.

The author has a brilliant way of writing a compelling love story with a strong feminine presence. Something that is lacking in most contemporary romances. It also helps that the story is historically accurate.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2022

Excellent story to tow people who fall in love despite their differences between their cultures. The story is respectful of both cultures without drawing in typical stereotypes. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel from beginning to end and wanted to keep reading to see what happened.
