Midnight: Three Women at the Hour of Reckoning

3.5 What an interesting and original concept, connecting three well known but disparate women through a pivotal decision that led to the lives they lived. Jane Austen's story was the shortest entry, and the decision she ultimately made, allowed her eventually time to write. In a short spate of time this prolific author created book after book.

Mary Shelley, whose story I knew the best. Most can guess what her pivotal decision was, changed her path in life. She was so incredibly young when she took this often difficult road.

Joan of Arc, I found her story the most interesting, since it is one i didn't know. Well, I knew the outcome but not the road taken to the conclusion.

I know I've wondered at different times in my life, when I thought show more of different roads not taken. How my life would have changed. Had these women not made the decisions they did, we would never have heard of these ladies.

Ho trovato questo libro molto appassionante e ben scritto.
Fa veramente rivivere i momenti salienti delle tre protagoniste. Commuovente, questo racconto ci riporta indietro nel tempo, e ci fa entrare nei loro pensieri.
