My Thoughts on Estelle’s Endeavor

Estelle’s Endeavor is by one of my favorite authors and is part of a fun series that you simply can’t miss! You’ll love all the books!  This author is amazing at making sure her novels are historically accurate.  Not only that but I love how she finds obscure historical facts and includes them in her novels. 

This novel takes place during the war.  Our main female character is waiting at home for her hero/love to return home.  But when the hero endures loss during battle will she continue to wait and support him?

It’s tragic in a way.  But also something that happened way too often.  And even more often the girl at home decided that she couldn’t deal with the issues that the man was going to have now and that was that.  Not only was he injured but now he was alone and depressed and what did he have to live for?

The war changes people.  It can’t be helped.  So what happens when the man comes home wounded and broken?  Can Estelle support him and stay beside him while he’s relearning how to live at home?

This was a wonderful book.  The characters were amazing and had so many different layers to go through and were well fleshed out so that they seemed like real people and not just characters on a page.  I highly recommend you grab a copy and read it today.  You won’t be sorry that you did.

More from Linda

Dear lovely readers,

I was thrilled to be asked to participate in Thanksgiving Books & Blessing Collection Five because Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. When I was growing up, no matter where we lived (and we lived a lot of places thanks to my dad’s job!), my parents would bundle all of us into the car and we’d make the trip to my maternal grandparent’s house in Maryland; the tiny town of Burtonsville to be exact. Cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, with the occasional “honorary family member” (anyone who had nowhere to spend the holiday) would gather.

The adults ate at a HUGE table in the dining room, and the kids were relegated to card tables in the living room. My grandmother and great aunt must have prepared for days. After dinner, we kids were responsible for washing the dishes (and with 20-30 people, there were tons!). I have countless happy memories from those days. Our Thanksgiving celebrations are much smaller now, but no less joyous.

In Estelle’s Endeavor, I wanted to explore the holiday and the concept of thankfulness in light of a world at war. Could people find it in their hearts to be thankful in spite of their circumstances not because of them? Additional themes emerged as the story unfolded, and I hope you are encouraged by the characters’ journey.

Blessings,

Linda Shenton Matchett
