A Name Unknown (Shadows Over England Book #1) | Roseanna M. White
4 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
Edwardian Romance and History Gains a Twist of Suspense Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now, they concentrate on stealing high-value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. But when Rosemary must determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany, she is in for the challenge of a lifetime. How does one steal a family's history, their very name? Peter Holstein, given his family's German blood, writes his popular series of adventure novels under a pen name. With European politics boiling and his own neighbors suspicious of him, Peter debates whether it might be best to change his name for good. When Rosemary shows up at his door pretending to be a historian and offering to help him trace his family history, his question might be answered. But as the two work together and Rosemary sees his gracious reaction to his neighbors' scornful attacks, she wonders if her assignment is going down the wrong path. Is it too late to help him prove that he's more than his name?

The plot is fantastic! Great details highlight the amount of research White has done on the time period, A Name Unknown is a must for any historical fiction fan. A Name Unknown took me by complete surprise and I loved it. You will not find another novel as well written and as entertaining as this.

Absolutely loved this one. Yes there's a mystery aspect in the book but that is set on the back burner. It's the romance you're reading for here. I love Rosemary and Peter. They're in some ways very different, but on the other hand they're both very strong people. This was a joy to read. Definitely from romance and Christian fiction fans.
