Haverford House Reviews
Belle Grove Reviews
“Reading Haverford House was a genuine treat. It is a fascinating story filled with intrigue, suspense and wide appeal.”— MAUREEN BARON, I.E.G., NEW YORK
“Winfield masterfully reveals how the complicated lives of the people in Corsica are intertwined ... She paints a rich picture of the characters’ personalities .... [and] establishes a strong sense of setting ... Winfield draws readers in with her use of details … deftly shifting from a character-driven story to a plot-driven, action-filled mystery ... With unusual but appealing characters, she keeps readers deeply engaged throughout her eccentric, compelling novel.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ FIVE STARS,
— MARIA SIANO, FOREWORD CLARION REVIEWS
"Belle Grove reads at a fast pace, with quick rising and ebbing of tensions and action. The novel is grounded in the town of Corsica... keeping the overall aura of the book light, without bringing any of the mental fatigue that often accompanies heightened tensions or actions. The book maintains a levity and brightness rare for its genre. Instead of darkening tones to amp up drama, the ends of chapters are clipped to build suspense. This builds a curiosity that keeps the pages turning." -- Hannah Choi Foreword/Clarion Reviews
Bending Toward the Light Reviews
