An amazing read, superbly written - reviews for The Paper Mill Girl



This week, my new novel The Paper Mill Girl is on a "blog tour" where book bloggers receive the book from Headline in exchange for honest reviews on their own blogs.  

Day 1 of the blog tour was at Amanda Oughton's blog Ginger Book Geek where she has written a review that made me cry. It includes the words: "Glenda Young writes superb historical fiction that bring the era alive.  Her books are unbeatable and unputdownable."
