Afton of Margate Castle

This book is an amazing journey into the life of Afton, a young vilein with many siblings. She is taken into the castle to be a companion to the earl's daughter. After falling in love with the earl's handsome young son, they marry her off to a cruel man. This is a remarkable story about one woman's determination for revenge...and all-consuming love for a brave young knight named Calhoun.

I see that "Afton of Margate" has been published again. No wonder, it is a fabulous read. This book has started me on reading just about everything she has written. I am now up to about 20 of her books. I love her hint of romance. You are drawn into her characters and into the period of time that she writes about. She writes about strong women. If you want a "never put it down book" this is the one!

One could write for hours on end praising the obviously thorough reasearch Ms. Hunt has put into this novel. the reader is ushered into the plot in a very rare manner -gently, without being "talked down to". Somehow, every term seems clear although one may not have been familiar with it before reading the story. This is a very special quality. Even more time could be passed gushing over how smoothly the plot flows and how real the characters seem. One actually feels a part of the story. But all this seems useless to cite. The novel is of such incomparable matter that one simply has to read it to believe it. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book!

This book hit every element a worthy book needs to be interesting. It's a great book for young readers such as teens.I found it highly enjoyable. God showed each character his/her way. Each character had very separate and contrasting characteristics which caused some pretty interesting conflicts within the storyline. A must read book by my opinion.

This book was written so beautifully and I loved the 2 books that followed. It's set in my favorite time period and was so well researched. I actually cried over a book! Afton's brave journey (with the always loved happy ending) is a book to be treasured for always.
