    New review for Kitty McKenzie
    The lovely Heather Grant at Got To Write website has given my historical Kitty McKenzie a great review.
    "Anne Whitfield has made a very believable and likable character of Miss Kitty McKenzie. She gives vivid and direct descriptions of life in the slums of York and basic human interactions that everyone can identify with. I laughed out loud and wiped tears from my eyes. I love a book that I can't put down and I definitely could not close it until I was finished. She does an excellent job of using very real characters to push the story forward. The pace was perfect, it was fun to read, and I loved all of the characters, even the dragon-lady-mother-in-law-to-be!"
