I
always look forward to historical fiction written by Michelle Griep.
The Noble Guardian did
not disappoint. Abigail Gilbert is left to make her way to the home
of the baronet who has asked for her hand in marriage attended only
by her maid. After being accosted by highway men, circumstances place
Abigail under the care of Captain Samuel Thatcher of the Bow Street
magistrate Their journey is fraught with danger and unexpected turns
of event, both pleasant and otherwise. Griep skillfully places
readers along the muddy English backroads and in the crowded, dirty
coaching inns, making them even more appreciative of interstates,
hotel chains, and even fast food. She will have readers emotionally
involved as Abigail and Samuel struggle with their past and their
present, and as they work together to care for the infant who has
been placed with them and who is to be delivered to her aunt. Readers
will rejoice as they see God's working in the lives of the main
characters, and will grieve over the depravity of those who turn
their backs on Him.
I
recommend The Noble Guardian
as well as all other books by Michelle Griep to fans of historical
fiction. I am grateful to have received a copy of this book from
Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. I
was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no
monetary compensation.
