Facinating

This book started out slow - but reels you in quickly and efficently. After the first few chapters, this book is hard to put down. The story is fantastic and the characters are so believable. This novel is very well written and I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys diving into a great story.

Amazing.

It's been a looooong time since I've gotten so pulled into a book that I've abandoned EVERYTHING in order to park myself on the couch and read the bulk of it in one sitting. NELL absolutely blew me away, put me through an emotional wringer the likes of which I haven't been through in years. Jeanette Baker writes with a clear, deft, evocative hand, bringing her characters to brilliant life. And she brings the reader right into that life with them. I've no doubt at all that these characters--and this book--will stay with me for some time to come.

A wonderful book.

This book was good on many different levels and should appeal to both historical romance fans and fans of more contemporary novels. The story of Nell & Donal offers a fascinating historical backdrop to the present day lives of Jilly & Frankie. The historical information about Ireland is presented in such a way that when you finish this book you walk away with an understanding of current & past conflicts that couldn't have been obtained a better way. Ms. Baker has a tremendous ability to develop characters who become so real you feel as though you could invite them to tea. The relationship between Nell & Jilly is magical and adds a touch of fantasy to the story. If you enjoy Irish history, romance and just a darn good story you'll like "Nell".

Excellent

This has to be one of the best books I have ever read. The characters of Jilly and Frankie are so enchaning and unforgetable. There is also so much information about the problems in Ireland that I actually learned some things I never new. I picked up this book accidentially at the library and finished it that same night. I was unable to sleep until I finished it because it was so good.

OUTSTANDING!!

Nell is an incredibly wonderful book. Extremely well written....a perfect mix of romance, history, contemporary & historical fiction. The story and characters stayed with me long after I'd finsihed reading.
