REVIEW

As novice history lover I have to say Dear Tarquin is beautiful! A book has not affected my soul like this in a long time. I believe it is intolerable to imagine what these soldiers went through, but Heiser with his wring prowess does fantastically! He clasps your hand vividly dragging you down into the cold dirty ditches of war with our lead character Louis as he shares his story with his oldest son.


Dear Tarquin is breathtakingly written. Only the switching from 1st person to 3rd person is the only downside to this book. As a reader, it was kind of bothersome. In the end, though it did not take away from the story itself.  All hail our veterans who fought for freedom in this land.

My rating *****(5 stars)
