October Wind (Discovery, Bk 1)
October Wind (Discovery, Bk 1)
Author: Susan Wiggs
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Paperback


If you're looking for a silly "bodice buster" this book is not for you...but if you want a big, meaty full-bodied
historical novel such as those of Costain, Shellabarger, or Ken Follett than you've struck gold with this one....
It's bursting with a host of memorable characacters that at some point connect with the remarkable Cristobal Colon. They are from all walks of life and the turbulent era in which they live is so well drawn that you will get to know them and care about their lives over the course of the years it took to launch the fateful expedition that sailed from the harbor of Palos on the October wind, determining the course of history for all time.
