The Maid of Ballymacool by Jennifer Deibel ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

The Maid of Ballymacool is a Cinderella story set in Ireland in the 1930s.  Ireland at this time was still a very class-orientated society and the upper class rarely mixed with the people who were below them on the economic scale.  In this story, love was more important than class or occupation and after many problems, the two main characters got their happily-ever-after ending.

5 Books for Fans of Women's Fiction

by Susan Roberts

The Romance Writers of America organization defines women's fiction as, "a commercial novel about a woman on the brink of life change and personal growth. Her journey details emotional reflection and action that transforms her and her relationships with others, and includes a hopeful/upbeat ending with regard to her romantic relationship."  It's one of my favorite genres to read and I have reviews of 5 books that cover different sub-genres - three are historical fiction - one set in Ireland in the 1920s, one during WWII, and one during the 1980s.  The other two are set in modern times - one in London and one in a small neighborhood in NY.
