The Last Daughter

Netgalley thank you for the advanced readers copy of Ann Turner novel, I am a lover of historical fiction, While reading this book, I found it kept my attention but I must confess when I was finished I enjoyed it and would recommend. It.

Love, check! Family, check! Action, check! Adventure, check! Time travel, check!

The fact that all of these elements are woven together by Ann Turner in such a wonderful way so that the reader is completely engrossed by all of it is amazing! Following Rose through her adventures we see how much of London has changed over the centuries.

Rose has always put others first; her son, her husband, her father; and now it’s time for some me time. She decides to book a hotel room and enjoy a weekend exploring London. Except it doesn’t really turn out the way she planned. Rather than relaxing and enjoying her alone time, she find adventure right where she is.

As she signs in to the hotel, she is warned that visitors have complained about a ghost who is looking for someone in the hotel. No one knows who she is or who she is looking for. Of course, the ghost comes to Rose. Unaccustomed to ghostly visits, Rose finds comfort in a small, unknown local church where she meets Alan, the Vicar.

Rose needs someone to believe her so she brings Alan back to her hotel room and the adventure begins. With Alan by her side, she is taken back to the day before the Great Fire that destroyed London. While there she meets King Charles and spends the day of the fire in his company. She and Alan continue their ‘visit’ with a young woman named Julie and her love Adam.

When they return home again, the worry is if anyone will believe them. Alan finds a number of artifacts and sends them to the Museum of London to have them authenticated. The mystery continues to unfold as more information comes to light about Julie and Rose.

What a wonderful way to visit history on such a momentous day as that of the Great Fire?

Happy Reading!

Thankyou to NetGalley and Troubador Publishing Limited for the opportunity to read this novel by Ann Turner.
I am a huge fan of historical fiction, so I was very excited to read this book. And I certainly was not disappointed. The plot was well thought out and paced, with remarkable characters. London in 1666 seemed to come alive.
Would definitely recommend this novel and am looking forward to reading more from Ann Turner.

I am in love with this book! Romance, ACTION, it has it all!!!!!!!!!!!! I could relate to Rose so much. Selfless, hard-working, and the fact she could have a "me" time inspired me so much. I absolutely love going in time and enjoying the high life of London! Amazingly well-written book and I'd recommend it to everyone!

The Last Daughter an exciting book of Time Travel and Romance. Period details of 1666 London, The Great Fire, Plague, and an audience with King Charles II. Great characters but I felt like some details were not always consistent with period speach or reactions to the future. I didn’t think that all the characters exposed to information regarding time travel, mobile phones and photos would be so openly accepting but be very wary of them. Excellent ending the author weaves the story lines together and the reader is not left guessing. Thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for making this book available to me to read and review. I look forward to reading more from Ann Turner.

What an interesting story. Rose is staying at the Aragon Hotel in London as she recovers from her Father's death. She meets Alan who is the vicar at St Mildrith' a small church near her hotel. Rose meets Julia the hotel's ghost one night. Julia needs her to wed her true love who is a baker and she is a daughter of the nobility. This is Rose's ancestor and though she does not realize it at the beginning her life depends on helping Julia. Alan goes with Rose & Julia to the past to the time of the Great Fire of London in the rein of Charles II. Can Alan & Rose help without interfering with history. It is an exciting time for the two of them and much happens while in that time.
