The Band of Hope Pt. 1

The audio version of this artickle was first shared in Episode 53: A Bookchat about A Mark of Grace with Kimberly Woodhouse & a Review of The Debutante’s Code by Erica Vetsch

There is nothing new under the sun. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard my dad say that over the years.

(Drug Abuse Resistance Education.)

Today’s Bookworm Review is bought to you by Angela Bell of the Historical Bookworm Review Team. Here is part of her review of The Debutante’s Code.

 “Erica Vetsch has once again proven herself to be a skilled writer with a flair for capturing the details and atmosphere of a historic setting. Her words bring Regency Era London to life, juxtaposing grimy pubs and glittering ballrooms so vividly that one wonders if Vetsch is in fact a time-traveler recounting her visits to the past.” (Full review here.)
