Nicola Pryce is one of my favourite historical fiction authors<\/em>. The Cornish Rebel: Goodreads review.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

\n

The author’s insightful use of sensory imagery creates an authentic sense of place and time. The characterisation brings each individual to life for the reader, and each adds to the story.<\/em> The Cornish Rebel: Goodreads review.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

\n

Master storyteller Nicola Pryce blends intrigue, danger, passion and emotion in her sweeping new saga, The Cornish Captive. A spellbinding historical saga that is simply superb, Nicola Pryce\u2019s The Cornish Captive<\/em> is another triumph for this very gifted writer. The Cornish Captive<\/em>: Goodreads review, April 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

\n

Full of historical detail and cleverly crafted characters, this is a compelling romantic saga of one woman’s captivity, liberation, and quest for justice. The vivid sensory imagery brings the setting to life. The story shows how few rights women had in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and how vulnerable they were to abuse and loss of liberty. The Cornish Captive<\/em>: Goodreads review. February 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

\n

The Cornish Captive<\/em> is a fascinating portrait of a woman fighting battles to survive and living with an awareness of an injustice in the past and present. I recommend this as a memorable historical novel with real insights into women\u2019s lives. Goodreads review. April 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

\n

This historical romance has great pace, strong characters, intrigue and mystery, danger, friendship, and love. Nicola Pryce is expert in weaving multiple threads of plot into a coherent story whilst delighting readers with insight into her chosen period. Cornwall in 1800 offers the Napoleonic Wars, spying and republican ideas. I found it an exciting and fascinating read. The Cornish Captive<\/em>. Goodreads review, February 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

\n
