Review of A Fine Line

[Kristine Mariel Diaz]

Because of the action, suspense, and intriguing characters in the review, I became quite interested in this novel. Historical fiction is a really fascinating genre since it keeps readers curious about the story's potential veracity, which in my opinion makes it more interesting.

It's sad that the 19th century compared to the 18 century was marked with the emergence of such ills as slavery and war fueled by industrialization. I like that this book takes the reader through this period through the perspective of two young women and the Ranelagh family. Thanks for the review.

"A Fine Line" by David Gilbertson is a compelling historical novel spanning Britain from 1850 to 1918. It follows the affluent Ranelagh family and the intertwined lives of childhood friends Jane Gemmill and Elizabeth Bentley, all set against the backdrop of industrialization, war, and societal change. Gilbertson’s masterful storytelling and suspenseful pacing make it a page-turner, with well-developed characters and unexpected plot twists.

Lisa, your review of *A Fine Line* by David Gilbertson is fantastic! Your detailed analysis and genuine enthusiasm shine through, making it clear why you rated it 5 stars. Your insights on the suspense and character development are particularly compelling. Great job!

[Byron Dsouza]

"A Fine Line" by David Gilbertson is a historical fictional novel where the author shares four stories from the 18th - 19th century. If you like war stories, then this book is for you. "Liverpool vessels carried more than a quarter of a million slaves across the notorious central passage to the Americas, four times the combined number that disembarked from London and Bristol ships in the same period." The theme of this book revolves around industrialization, war, and slavery. Congrats on BOTD!

I'm not one who usually go far war novels but I make an exception for this one. The lives of these individuals in each story seems to take centerstage before, during and after the wars in Britain. I cannot wait to get this book and indulge in the author's creation.

A book with so much twists and suspense is really interesting and David Gilbertson really engaged his readers in these four books that make up the novel.

[Igwe Ifeanyi]

The three different stories the book allow for a very good pace and for things to get intense. While I enjoyed book 4, book 2 and 3 were among my favourites. I agree with you on the plot twists, you never see them coming. It's a great book with a great writing style that makes the reader feel that they are in 1800s - 1900s.
