Accidents of Providence
Praise for Accidents:
“Dangerous Liaisons: A 17th century heroine for our times…[A] delightfully seditious heroine…Brown introduces a wonderful cast of supporting characters…. For all its period detail, this debut seems remarkably modern in its depiction of love and politics—proof that a historical novel can be educational and entertaining, and nothing like homework.”
—O, The Oprah Magazine
“A heart-poundingly vivid, intellectually provocative account. . . A romping good read that is character-driven yet intellectually provocative on issues of law, religion and morality—historical fiction at its best.”
—Kirkus, STARRED review
“Debut novelist Brown has woven an absorbing tale…her story reveals a rich knowledge of the era with memorable characters, sharp, period-worthy dialog, and a poignant love story…This is the best kind of historical fiction—a combination of love story and murder mystery, wtih a sprinkling of intriguing historical snippets and wonderful writing.”
—Library Journal, STARRED review
“Intelligent, masterful, suspenseful—one of the best books I’ve read in years. An impressive debut novel from a hugely talented new writer, Accidents of Providence was a rare treat.”
—Margaret George, author of many works of historical fiction, including Mary Queen of Scotland and The Isles
