I normally love historical fiction, but I just couldn't get into this one- maybe that's because I haven't read Cervantes. Still, I appreciate all the research and work that went into writing A Daughter's Place.

As a lifetime reader of Historic Fiction, a Daughter’s Place had me hooked from the first page to the last. For all of you who have grown weary of WWII novels, give this one a try. You will not be sorry.

This is a wonderful book! Historical fiction at its finest. This story follows Isabel, the illegitimate daughter of Miguel de Cervantes. I've spent a lot of time in Spain to especially appreciated Madrid as the backdrop. This book is part day-to-day life of Cervantes' sisters, niece, and daughter, and part a reflection of the limitations placed on women during this time.It is also a reflection of familiar relationships and the ebb and flow of feelings and actions.
At times I was sad by the storyline, and other times frustrated with some of the characters and their actions.
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for access to this eARC.
