A review by sci_mom
A Ballad of Love and Glory, by Reyna Grande

5.0

I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. I know very little about the Mexican-American war and learned a lot from this story. I believe that a truly good historical fiction novel leads the reader to learning more about the subject and I soon found myself reading online articles about John Reilly and this period in our history. The author is a wonderful writer and did a fantastic job of bringing these events to life. I highly recommend this book and will read more books by Reyna Grande.
