The Courier of Casewell Hall by Melanie Dobson was a great book. After just reading the back of the book I knew I would love this book and I have to say that it didn’t let me down. This book takes place during the Revolutionary War and I have to say that I learned about it in history but I have never read a book that takes place during that time period so I am sure that is why I loved this book as much as I did. In this book you follow along with Lydia as she tries to figure out where she stands during the war and where her true loyalties fall. The writing in this book is amazing and I felt like I was there with the characters. I was on the edge of my seat through parts of this book because I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. If you love historical fiction I know that you will love this book!
