This is not the kind of book to suit being pulled apart and analysed in the review pages. Quite often, a rip-roaring story is all a girl needs and what, after all, is the matter with that? Although certain elements of Griggs’ tale seem a little predictable at times – i.e. a tragedy followed by a thirst for revenge followed by an adventure and great love story to go with it, his prose is both simple yet opulent, his historical knowledge just enough to paint a realistic picture without overtaking the plot and the battles…well, just gory enough I found. If Grace Dearborn hadn’t turned out to be such an unrealistic and contradictory character it would have been near perfect.
Griggs’ wonderfully imperfect conclusion to this, his third novel, leaves the way open (I’m hoping) for a Frank Gray sequel and I, for one, am excited to see what he has in store for us next. I shall be placing this novel in the book box at my local train station tomorrow morning, not because I no longer want it but because I need to spread the word. Griggs is bloody good.
