Book Review: The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
1895 was filled with a lot of memorable events including Oscar Wilde being convicted for gross indecency under Britain’s recently passed law that made between two males a criminal offence. Other big events also happened that year like the Dreyfus Affair that divided France and Booker T. Washington giving his Atlanta Address. In the middle of it all is a small town in Nevada, Red River Pass. A small town that thrives on the news it gets from the local telegraph office. Two of the town’s residents, Mildred Dunlap and her cousin, Edra. But there’s more to these two than meets the eye. They have a secrete and a plan to keep that secrete hidden that could cost them everything.
My review: I received a copy from the author a couple weeks ago who asked me to read and review it and I was more than happy to do so. I am a great lover of history and this book did not disappoint. Even though this book is a work of fiction, the author took great care to check and make sure that all of the historical facts were true and you can really tell that when reading the book. I would strongly recommend that people read this book. Even you’re not a lover of history, you’ll enjoy this book. It’s not just about history, but about love, trust, and friendship. And who wouldn’t want to read a book about that?
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
