Reviews
DeTarsio’s charming historical romance comes alive with vibrant, immersive descriptions of deep South culture and tradition in the aftermath of the Civil War. This engaging, entertaining novel features a robust cast of well-developed characters skillfully portrayed through authentic, original language, witty dialogue, and clever plot twists.
If Evie Dunmore and Sara Donati wrote a mashup with a touch of Sarah Waters’ grit and a dash of Kristin Hannah’s heart, you’d get Suellen, the latest historical stunner from Dee DeTarsio. Suellen is for readers who like their historical fiction with a little fire under the bonnet. If you’re drawn to stories about second chances, complicated love, and women who refuse to stay in the boxes society builds for them, this is your next favorite read.
