Reviews
Young girls who enjoy historical novels and who read the first book about Marie-Claire, Dark Spring, are sure to enjoy this book as well and will be eager to read the final two books about her.
Stinson vividly details the textures of life for Marie-Claire and her family during the epidemic. She does a terrific job setting the historical scene and dramatically embodying the religious and social issues of the times in the personal crises of the characters.
