I am a huge fan of Tudor and Elizabethan era novels. Suzanne Crowley's novel, The Stolen One, is one of the best historical fiction novels I have read in a long time. I have such great respect for Crowley's story-telling ability. Her novel is beautifully written, engaging and has such a creative and imaginative story line. She takes the genre "historical fiction" to a new level. It was honestly a wonderful read that was enjoyable from the very beginning. The characters came to life on the pages, and the plot was original and captivating. I anticipated every page turn, and enjoyed every bit from the adventure and journey to find one's identity, to the romance and glamour of the Elizabethan court. Crowley has a genius imagination and I can't wait to read more of her novels!
