I learned bits and pieces of Wilmington’s history as I turned the pages of Mary Ellis’s novel, The Last Heiress. Well researched, I roamed familiar streets and recalled houses from that era that are still standing in Wilmington. Scenes took place near my childhood home. Third Street, Orange Street, Ann Street, Castle Street – all familiar and all where the characters of The Last Heiress walked.
A very enjoyable read and a pleasure to roam my hometown albeit was many years prior to my actual arrival on the scene.
Reading a book from your hometown would be such a treat! Thanks for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday!
