Review of 'Daughter of Black Lake' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A historical fiction of two generations of a small northern village. Set in the time of the Romans invading Britain for the third time? Boudicca’s era basically. This was a great book! Very realistic, well-written, and tense. My own personal hangup was that there was a character debating between two love interests and I usually dislike that trope. I kept reading and was delighted that the character’s choice had very long term consequences throughout the whole book. The book centers around a mother and daughter and their respective coming-of-age in the village. The daughter is physically disabled, and this also has consequences in the book. I think it was respectfully done.
