Reader Reviews

On The Reluctant Spiritualist

The Reluctant Spiritualist is non-fiction but reads like a fast-paced whodunit. The mystery is whether spiritualism is a fact, or a fraud cooked up by two bored teenage girls in a farmhouse in mid-nineteenth century upstate New York.
Stuart Ellison

On Defiant Brides

For the lover of American history, this was a great book… The work was well annotated, and researched, easy and enjoyable to read and comprehend. Recommend for those who enjoy lite history biographies and women’s studies.

On The Muse of the Revolution

A fascinating & entertaining account about one of America’s forgotten outstanding women. I learned far more about the American Revolution and how it affected ordinary people by reading The Muse of the Revolution than I ever learned in my American history class.
L.S. – Manhattan

On ​Isabella of Castile

Nancy Rubin makes use of Prescott and in a sense pours old wine in new bottles. Her Isabella is more accessible than Prescott’s pius queen. She also very ably puts Isabella in the proper perspective as the co-founder of modern Spain (at least from a geographic perspective)… but as Ms. Rubin’s book ably demonstrates, she was much more than that.
M.A. Newman

On American Empress

A fascinating & entertaining account about one of America’s forgotten outstanding women. I learned far more about the American Revolution and how it affected ordinary people by reading The Muse of the Revolution than I ever learned in my American history class.
