Mrs
Boots
By Deborah Carr
If you like historical
novel this is a book for you. It is a historical novel based on the true story.
This is the first book
of a promising series, set in Channel Islands, Jersey. We get to know about
Florence Rowe, 23 years old, who leaves with her family and works at her father’s
stationers.
In this book Florence is
introduced Jesse Boots who is staying on
the island during his vacation, Jesse is an older man , Florence’s father told
her a lot about Jesse before they met, and if that’s true she could say that
she has never seen any one as successful as him.
Despite the age difference,
the more they talked about different topics they felt more connected. The courtship
and how she was always waiting for Jesse’s letter to arrive was very
interesting.
They were in love and
wanted to be together. But Florence mother disapproved this marriage, and
eventually promised them to reconsider their decision in a year.
Knowing that this is
the true story behind the Boots Empire made the book even more interesting to
me.
I enjoyed the perfect
pace of the book; the well-developed characters were relocatable. The book starts
with Florence life and her father’s stationer, still towards the end it is focusing
on the Rowe family, which made it more amusing for me to learn a lot about the
future Mrs. Boots Background.
I can't wait to read book #2.
