My thoughts on Nellie’s Heartbreak by Rosie Clarke
Nellie’s Heartbreak is a wonderfully written pre-WW2 saga depicting the changing of class separation and life struggles.
Poor Nellie, ill-treated by her mother for her entire life, is sent into service on her 15th birthday. Once she settles into her new life, she begins to find a measure of peace. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last.
She experiences so much upheaval from long-kept family secrets to love triangles between the tinker and the lord’s son.
This character-driven story, told from Nellie’s perspective, pulls on your heartstrings as you cheer for the heroine. The writing is smooth, and the plot keeps you turning pages. Ms. Clarke has a way of wringing every bit of emotion out of her characters. Perhaps the same holds true for her readers. Keep a box of tissues handy.
I recommend Nellie’s Heartbreak to all fictional saga lovers. It’s a historical fiction book you don’t want to miss!
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
