A review by phunkypbj
Harriet and Isabella by Patricia O'Brien

3.0

I learned a lot about people I knew virtually nothing about, and did find myself very caught up in the story, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the fictionalizing of history. I feel like the fiction becomes the official version of the story (in the same way with historical movies). I realize any history does this to a certain extent, but I found myself believing what the author presented as the historical figures thoughts and feelings and point of view and had to repeatedly remind myself it was fiction.
