I have read Seton prodigiously and enjoyed
each and every work. She does her research and makes her characters so real that one wonders if they aren't truly alive.
She plots well, uses history to guide her, and when you get into her stories you become one with the characters. You live, suffer, love, and come away with a feeling you can be a better person, live a better life and have something left in the way of love for self and fellow beings.
I truly recommend Seton to all avid readers to try. You'll like it!
