The Draper Daughter edition by Ellin Carsta John Brownjohn Literature Fiction eBooks

This book is geared more to a woman's interest as the main character is a young woman apprentice to her father's cloth business in late 14th Century where woman if business was unheard of. Her mother rarely leaves her bed due to depression and her brother is a dissolute, lazy, troublemaker. I found the story a but slow paced. There are a few good moments in the story, but I think the characters should be better defined. I would recommend to women readers of historical fiction.

The Draper Daughter edition by Ellin Carsta John Brownjohn Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I'm so glad I found this author. If I didn't read on a kindle, I probably never found her. I love historical novels, plus this book had another twist to the plot !
I was hoping that I'd get a glimpse into life in the late Middle Ages in Europe, but somehow, I felt this novel lacking in many respects. The characters were shallow, the story did not ring true for me, the descriptions were weak, and I didn't find the narrative particularly engaging.
I enjoyed this book so much I did not want it to end.
Great story about a woman who kept going during a time when women weren't allowed to find their own way. Well written and fun to read.
After reading Secret Healer by the same author, I decided to give this book a try. I enjoyed it very much, however, I was disappointed by the lack of historical detail. The story is supposed to take place in medieval Germany but could just as easily been set during the 19th Century and in any country. Beyond naming a few German cities, there was no indication of the location where things were taking place. The only real clue to the time frame is a mention of the Plague. Other than that, the story is not bad. It just needs to be fleshed out a little more.
Like the SECRET HEALER, by the same author, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing flows, even though it is a translation.
What I liked most about this book was the realistic depiction of life in the Middle Ages. Elizabeth was luckier than most of the women whose fates were totally at the mercy of their male relatives. Her brother is the epitome of the entitled their. Carsta did not shy away from the realities faced by Jews and women. This book was very enlightening. I received a complimentary copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
Great story. Spell binding characters you will love to meet. Well written. Very good depiction of history and strong women. Highly recommend this book.
