Why read it?
1 author picked Daughter of the Murray as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is the perfect read for a rainy day and I quickly fell in love with the main female protagonist, Georgina. Spirited, brave, and a bit foolhardy, she fulfills all the hopes you might have for a heroine in a historical romance, yet she will surprise you too.

From Mary-Anne's list on featuring women you want as BFF’s.
