|| Thrown to the Wind || Amanda M. Cetas || Book Review 4.5⭐️ ||

Promise, adventure, history.

It follows Etienne Gayneau in 1660 France, forced to flee with his Protestant family when a bounty is put upon his fathers head. This sets in motion a number of events that will force them to flee from France to the Netherlands, and eventually to New Amsterdam (America). He finds friendship, hardship, courage and new skills in new locations, encountering many dangers along the way. Can they make it to safety?

This book was fast paced, adventurous and utterly fascinating. I loved Etienne’s character, and to think he is based upon the author’s own family history, makes the story all the more satisfying to read. It had me rooting for the Gayneau family throughout. I can’t wait for the next instalment to see where life has taken them.

One for the historical fiction lovers! 🌊
