Newton and Polly tells the story of John Newton, the writer of Amazing Grace, with a special focus on his relationship with the woman who would eventually become his wife. StatsGenre: Adult historical romance (fiction)
Series length: Each is a standalone book Violence: Moderate to moderately high, according to the time period and historical facts (in short, the author does not sanitize history) Magic/Supernatural: Only that which is supported by history Romance/Sex: High romance, as both of these are love stories. Luther also contains extra strong elements, with some fairly bluntly discussions/scenes pertaining to rape and the consummation of marriage, according to the traditions of the time. Christian/spiritual element: Explicit and overt Recommendation: Readers who would like to learn about a different aspect of these famous men and about the women they loved. |
Opening lines:
Time to jump. With trembling legs tangling in her scapular, Katharina crouched on the stone ledge of the window and peered down at the matted grass, still hard and untouched by spring. She blinked back a wave of dizziness and hoped the two-story drop wasn't as far as it looked. |

Opening Lines:
"I fear that our wassailing has become a nuisance." Polly Catlett slowed her steps, her toes aching in the stiff leather of her boots, the damp chill of December finally taking its toll. "Nonsense." Susanna Smith linked her arm into Polly's and dragged her toward the front door of the tenant farmhouse that stood across the road from the Blue Anchor Inn. "You've such a pretty voice. You could never be a nuisance." |
