REVIEW

I cannot give this book enough praise. Henry’s writing shines in Fiona, The Navigators Daughter. Everything that makes a Ronnda Eileen Henry novella’s award-winning is in all in this book.

Fiona is her best heroine by far. I just loved her! Fiona is a woman ahead of her time with her love of mathematics and science. When she befriends the young daughter of an earl who has an older brother with the same love of science and mathematics the young girl suggests its kismet. Fiona says no due to a commoner cannot marry one of nobility. When Fiona finally meets him sparks do happen, yet they both must hide their feelings for surely one of nobility cannot marry a commoner…can they? You must read the book to find out! Bravo is the book!
