Reviews for norfolk Boy
“The author has created characters that leap from the page.”
“I’d recommend ‘Norfolk Boy’ to anyone who likes historical fiction with lots of action and adventure.
'Not a book I would normally choose (just not my typical genre), but oh my goodness I couldn’t put it down. The setting description is not only so vivid you can truly imagine it, but it’s also realistic (important since some of the setting is my local area). I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the character of Isaac and learning about his journey. Highly recommend reading this!
'A rags to riches story with a surprise ending, a different adventure every chapter and a main character I really rooted for. I was hooked!
