I enjoy reading books that normally I would not. I do this because it allows me the chance to expand my horizon, maybe find a new author, as well as learn from different writing styles.
The Nova Scotia Runner is one of those books that I took time out to read, and I usually would not. I am more of a fantasy guy, but I also love books where you can tell that the heart and soul of the author is in it. I also value an author who takes time out to research; especially if it is hailed as a historical novel.
Author Sheila Munoz did not disappoint in either of these two categories. Any reader can appreciate the historical value of this first book in the Nova Scotia Series. I could also tell that Mrs. Munoz had a passion for the characters of the book.
As stated, this is not a genre I would normally read, but what I found refreshing was the easy reading. I didn't feel as if I needed to go back and forth to figure out who was who. It was a book that I could easily read, put down, and come back to. When I did put it down I still found myself wondering what was going to happen.
Her characters seem genuine and real.
I do not want to say to much because I do not wish to spoil the story, but if you are looking for an easy "pick up" book that still will feed your book lover's soul; then this is a good one!
