Red and White–at war in the world, and in her blood.
Born to a runaway Dutch teen and an Iroquois brave, raised in her white uncle’s frontier home, Genesee visits her mother’s family in colonial Albany. Here she meets a young Englishman and falls in love. He’s as much of an outcast as his “half-breed” girl, for Alexander was born “on the wrong side of the blanket”, and his only fortune is a good mind. Forbidden to marry, Genesee is sent home again, but when the Revolution sets the New York frontier ablaze, she is carried into captivity. In a Cayuga longhouse, she dreams of him, but will Alexander still want her–and will he brave torture and death to bring her home again?
Praise for Genesee
“GENESEE is an extraordinary book about love, hardship and prejudice. It’s well written and full of wonderful characters… This story isn’t sugarcoated, which is really refreshing.” – Renee Burnette
“This is a great read… Very vivid scenes and richly woven. This author is great!” – Karol A. Clifton, Amazon reader
“Romance that puts history up front! This is a real slice of history, with a heroine and her hero in 3-D.” – LJ Walker
My Review
“Genesee” by Juliet Waldron turned out to be a great
historical fiction read. You can’t help but like Genesee from the beginning of
the novel. She comes across as sweet, innocent, and somewhat naïve, and you are
rooting for someone to come along and protect her. Alexander is that perfect
person for Genesee, and as a reader you are rooting for them as a couple, even
though they go through so much just to be together. Alexander is your typical
strong, silent type, which makes him the perfect romantic hero, and perfect for
Genesee. The writing style in this novel is excellent, and the descriptions
were great. The action is described so clearly that you feel like you’re right
there with them when the action is going down. The book started out a little
slowly, but after it started picking up it was hard to put down. I was on the
edge of my seat, almost skipping sections of this book in order to find out
what was going to happen next. I love books like that, books that keep you up
at night because you can’t put them down!
Although the book was a little slow at the beginning, it did
pick up and more than make up for that, so I would definitely recommend this
book to historical fiction fans.
I give this novel a FOUR out of FIVE stars.
